Determining the absolute 'safest' areas within North East Lincolnshire is challenging without granular data at a more localised level. However, analysing the overall statistics for the Local Authority District (LAD) provides a baseline understanding. North East Lincolnshire, with a population of 159,911, currently has a crime rate of 135.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably higher than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000.
Furthermore, the area’s safety score is 68 out of 100, which is below the UK average of 79. This lower score suggests that residents may perceive the area as less safe compared to other parts of the country. A significant contributing factor to this is the violent crime rate, which stands at 54.1 per 1,000 residents. Again, this is above the UK average, though specific violent crime types (e.g., assaults, robberies) would require further data to analyse.
It's important to note that crime rates are averages, and localised variations exist within North East Lincolnshire. Areas with higher population density or closer proximity to transport hubs may experience different crime patterns. While this data doesn't pinpoint specific 'safe' neighbourhoods, it underscores the importance of considering these statistics alongside other factors when choosing a place to live. Researching local community forums, speaking to residents, and visiting potential areas at different times of day can provide a more nuanced understanding of neighbourhood safety.
