Seaton Delaval's safety score is 79 out of 100, which is the same as the UK average. While this suggests a generally reasonable level of safety, the higher crime rate indicates a greater potential for criminal activity.

It's crucial to remember that crime rates are just one indicator of safety. Factors such as community cohesion, police presence, and local initiatives also play vital roles. Comparing these figures provides a useful starting point for assessing relative levels of crime, but a comprehensive understanding requires considering a wider range of factors. Always remain vigilant and aware of your surroundings, regardless of the reported crime rate.
