The question of how safe Holt is, and how its crime rate compares to other villages in North Norfolk, is a common one. Based on available data, Holt (a Built-Up Area or BUA) in North Norfolk exhibits a lower crime rate than the national average. Specifically, Holt has a crime rate of 67.3 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably lower than the UK average crime rate, which stands at 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
This difference highlights that Holt experiences less crime proportionally compared to the rest of the United Kingdom. It’s important to note that this data represents reported crime incidents and doesn't necessarily capture all instances of crime. The population of Holt is recorded as 4001, which provides context for interpreting the crime rate figure.
Beyond the raw crime rate, Holt also boasts a safety score of 85 out of 100. This is significantly higher than the UK average safety score of 79. The safety score likely incorporates factors beyond just the number of reported crimes, potentially including perceptions of safety, community engagement, and the presence of security measures.
It's difficult to compare Holt's crime rate directly to other villages in North Norfolk without data for each individual village. However, the fact that Holt's crime rate and safety score are both lower than the national average suggests it is comparatively safer than many areas in the UK. Further research into the crime statistics of specific neighbouring villages would be needed for a more granular comparison. Always remember that even in a generally safe area, personal safety precautions remain important.
