The question of how Fishguard’s crime rate compares to Goodwick is a common one, and unfortunately, we don't have specific data for Goodwick within this dataset. However, we can assess Fishguard's crime rate in relation to the national average and offer some context.
Fishguard, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Pembrokeshire, has a population of 3427. As of the data available, Fishguard’s crime rate stands at 85.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. To put this into perspective, the United Kingdom's average crime rate is 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people. This indicates that Fishguard experiences a slightly lower rate of crime than the national average.
Beyond the raw crime rate, it's helpful to consider the safety score. Fishguard’s safety score is 78 out of 100, while the UK average is 79. A higher safety score suggests a perceived greater level of safety within the area. This score is based on a combination of factors including crime statistics, resident surveys, and local infrastructure. It’s important to note that safety scores are subjective and based on perceptions as well as data.
It’s also crucial to remember that crime rates can fluctuate and are influenced by a variety of factors, including population density, economic conditions, and policing strategies. While Fishguard’s crime rate is below the UK average, it doesn't necessarily mean the area is entirely free from crime. It’s always advisable to remain vigilant and take precautions to protect yourself and your property, regardless of the reported crime statistics. Further research into Goodwick’s specific crime data would be needed for a direct comparison.
