Lingdale Crime Rate

Lingdale's crime rate of 116.0 per 1,000 is 27.5% above the UK average, with 'Other crime' (5.8 per 1,000) 192% higher than national rates. This stark elevation in unclassified incidents, alongside 174% above-average 'Criminal damage and arson' (18.1 per 1,000), highlights a unique challenge in the area. While overall crime remains stable (-4.4% YoY), the sharp 175% YoY rise in 'Other crime' underscores a growing concern that demands targeted local solutions.

Lingdale is a built-up area within Redcar and Cleveland, characterised by a mix of residential and commercial properties. Its proximity to industrial zones and commuter routes may contribute to higher property crime rates. Socioeconomic factors, such as a younger population and transient housing, could influence crime patterns, particularly in anti-social behaviour and other unclassified crimes.

Lingdale's most surprising finding is the 192% above-average rate of 'Other crime' (5.8 per 1,000), which likely reflects unclassified or low-priority incidents that may go unreported. This category's sharp 175% YoY increase suggests a growing challenge in addressing unmonitored activity, possibly linked to transient populations or gaps in local policing. 'Criminal damage and arson' (18.1 per 1,000, 174% above UK average) may be driven by community tensions or vandalism in public spaces, exacerbated by the area's urban density. Meanwhile, 'Anti-social behaviour' (21.3 per 1,000, 45% above UK average) likely stems from concentrated housing and limited community engagement. These trends contrast with 'Other theft' (29% below UK average), which may benefit from lower foot traffic or effective local deterrence measures.

Crime in Lingdale has remained stable (-4.4% YoY), with the most significant shift being the 175% YoY increase in 'Other crime' (5.8 per 1,000). This category's sharp rise contrasts with declines in 'Criminal damage and arson' (-36% YoY) and 'Violence and sexual offences' (-24% YoY). Monthly trends show a distinct seasonal pattern, with crime peaking in November (15.4 per 1,000) and troughing in April (4.3 per 1,000). This likely reflects longer evenings, increased outdoor activity, and possible tourism season effects. The 175% YoY surge in 'Other crime' may be linked to unclassified incidents that have gone unaddressed despite overall stability.

How To Keep Safe in Lingdale

For residents in Lingdale, where 'Other crime' (192% above UK average) and 'Criminal damage and arson' (174% above UK average) are elevated, consider the following: Secure unmonitored properties during evening hours (6pm-12am), when 'Other crime' spikes. Avoid leaving valuables in vehicles overnight, as vehicle crime, though lower than average, still occurs. Report suspected 'Other crime' incidents promptly, as this category has surged by 175% YoY. For 'Criminal damage and arson', ensure outdoor spaces are well-lit and avoid leaving flammable materials unsecured in shared areas.

Crime in Lingdale peaks in the evening and night, with 'Other crime' dominating between 21:00 and 02:00, likely linked to nightlife activity or unsecured properties. Burglary spikes at night (12:00-6:00), possibly due to unoccupied homes during these hours. Theft and vehicle crime are more common in the afternoon (12:00-6:00), aligning with retail hours and commuter activity. The area's urban character and transient population likely contribute to these patterns, with evening hours presenting higher risks for unmonitored property.

Lingdale's crime rate (116.0 per 1,000) is 97% higher than Boosbeck's (59.0 per 1,000), the region's safest area, and 32% higher than Brotton (88.2 per 1,000). Skelton (Redcar and Cleveland) has a slightly lower rate (105.1 per 1,000), but Lingdale's higher property crime and 'Other crime' rates suggest distinct local challenges. These differences may reflect varying population densities, economic profiles, or policing strategies.
