The question of how safe Rural North Lincolnshire is during the evening and night hours requires a nuanced understanding of available data. Overall, Rural North Lincolnshire, a built-up area with a population of 13,399 in North Lincolnshire, presents a lower risk profile compared to the UK average. The area’s crime rate stands at 44.0 incidents per 1,000 residents, significantly below the UK national average of 91.6 per 1,000. This translates to a safety score of 89 out of 100, again exceeding the UK average of 79.
However, a key indicator warrants closer attention: the night safety score. This is rated at a concerning 13 out of 100. This suggests that while overall crime is lower, feelings of safety and actual incidents may be diminished after dark. The violent crime rate, at 19.9 per 1,000 residents, is also lower than the national average, but still contributes to the lower night safety score.
It's important to interpret these figures within context. A low night safety score doesn’t necessarily mean a dramatic increase in crime after sunset, but it can reflect factors such as reduced visibility, fewer people on the streets, and potentially increased opportunities for opportunistic crime. It's possible that the lower population density in a rural area contributes to a feeling of vulnerability at night. The data provides a snapshot; individual experiences will naturally vary depending on location within Rural North Lincolnshire and personal circumstances. While the overall crime rate is reassuring, exercising common sense and taking precautions during the evening and night are always advisable.
