The question of whether specific areas within Chipping, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Ribble Valley, have a higher risk of vehicle crime is complex, as pinpointing specific hotspots requires more granular data than is currently available. However, we can analyse the overall crime statistics for Chipping to understand the general risk profile.
Chipping has a population of 1444 residents. Overall, the crime rate in Chipping stands at 28.4 incidents per 1,000 people. This is significantly lower than the United Kingdom’s national average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests a generally safe environment. The village also boasts a safety score of 92 out of 100, which is well above the UK average of 79, further indicating a comparatively lower risk of crime.
While vehicle crime isn't explicitly detailed in the provided data, it falls under the broader umbrella of crime. The property crime rate in Chipping is recorded at 4.8 per 1,000 people. This includes offences such as theft and criminal damage, which could potentially involve vehicle-related crimes. It's important to note that this figure does not isolate vehicle crime specifically.
Due to the small population size of Chipping, even a few incidents can significantly impact the crime rate per 1,000. While the overall statistics are reassuring, residents should remain aware of their surroundings and take appropriate precautions. Specific areas with higher foot traffic or limited visibility might be more vulnerable. Local police reports, if available, would provide more targeted information regarding vehicle crime hotspots, but are not included in the data provided. Further investigation into publicly available crime mapping resources may provide more local detail, although data availability will vary.
