The question of whether specific areas within Llanharan and Brynna are known for higher rates of violent crime requires careful consideration of available data. The combined area of Llanharan and Brynna, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Rhondda Cynon Taf, has a population of 7907. Overall, the crime rate for this area is 90.6 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is very close to the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests that, on a broad level, the area’s crime levels are comparable to the rest of the country.
However, it’s important to note that this is an aggregate figure. Crime is rarely evenly distributed within any area. While the data doesn't pinpoint specific streets or neighbourhoods within Llanharan and Brynna with elevated violent crime rates, the overall safety score for the area is 78 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79, indicating that Llanharan and Brynna is slightly less safe than the average UK area.
It's crucial to understand that crime statistics are based on reported incidents. They do not account for unreported crimes, which can significantly influence the perceived level of safety. Furthermore, crime rates can fluctuate over time, and specific local factors can contribute to variations in crime patterns. To gain a more detailed understanding, it is recommended to consult more granular data, if available, from Rhondda Cynon Taf Council or the Office for National Statistics. This might provide insights into specific types of crime prevalent in different parts of Llanharan and Brynna.
It’s also important to remember that feeling safe is subjective and influenced by personal experiences and perceptions. While crime statistics offer a valuable data point, they shouldn't be the sole determinant of one's sense of security.
