Determining which areas within Redditch have the highest rates of violence requires examining available data. The Local Authority District (LAD) of Redditch has a population of 87,847. Overall, the crime rate for Redditch stands at 87.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is marginally lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
It's important to note that this figure represents the overall crime rate for the LAD, encompassing all types of crime. Identifying specific areas with higher rates of violent crime within Redditch would require more granular data, which is not currently provided. The safety score for Redditch is 79 out of 100, aligning with the national average of 79. A safety score of 79 suggests a moderate level of safety, but doesn’t pinpoint areas of concern.
While this data doesn't identify specific neighbourhoods experiencing elevated violence rates, it does provide a broader context. The slightly lower than average crime rate suggests that Redditch, as a whole, is comparatively safe. However, localised variations in crime rates are common within any urban area, and without more detailed data broken down by smaller geographical units, pinpointing high-violence areas is not possible. Residents are encouraged to consult local police reports and community safety forums for more specific insights into their neighbourhoods. Reporting suspicious activity and participating in community safety initiatives can also contribute to a safer environment for everyone.
