The question of how nearby industry impacts crime rates in Hendreforgan, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Rhondda Cynon Taf, is a complex one, and direct causation is difficult to establish solely from available data. However, analysing crime rates in surrounding areas provides some context. Hendreforgan itself has a crime rate of 87.8 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000. Its safety score is 76 out of 100, which is also a little below the UK average safety score of 79.
Looking at nearby areas, the crime rates present a varied picture. Gilfach Goch demonstrates a significantly lower crime rate at 54.7 per 1,000. In contrast, Tonyrefail experiences a considerably higher crime rate of 99.8 per 1,000, closer to the UK average. Tonypandy's rate stands at 82.4 per 1,000. Remarkably, Blackmill reports a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000, representing a significantly safer environment.
It's important to note that 'nearby industry' isn't explicitly defined in the data. However, it's reasonable to infer that the economic activity and population density in these surrounding areas, particularly Tonyrefail, may influence crime patterns in Hendreforgan. Increased population density and economic activity can sometimes correlate with higher crime rates, although this is not always the case. Factors like unemployment, social deprivation, and the availability of resources also play a significant role, and these are not reflected in the data provided.
Furthermore, the safety score of 76 suggests a reasonable level of safety, but it's still below the national average. This, combined with the varying crime rates in surrounding areas, highlights the importance of considering the broader context when assessing safety within Hendreforgan. It's worth remembering that these figures are averages, and individual experiences can vary greatly.
