Beyond crime rates, Coleshill also boasts a safety score of 81 out of 100. This score is above the UK average of 79, suggesting a generally perceived level of safety within the area.

It's crucial to interpret these numbers within their context. Crime rates can fluctuate, and small variations in population size can impact the per capita figures. While Coleshill’s crime rate appears favourable compared to some neighbours, ongoing vigilance and community engagement remain vital for maintaining a safe environment. Reporting suspicious activity to the relevant authorities is always recommended.
