Without data for Stalham, it's impossible to definitively state whether Sutton is 'safer' than Stalham. However, given Sutton's low crime rate and high safety score compared to the national average, it is reasonable to infer that it likely experiences lower crime levels than areas with crime rates closer to, or above, the UK average. It's important to remember that crime rates can fluctuate, and this data reflects a specific point in time.
Factors influencing crime rates can include population density, socio-economic conditions, and the effectiveness of local policing and community initiatives. Further research into Stalham’s crime statistics would be needed to draw a direct comparison.
