The question of whether there are differences in crime rates between different towns within Rutland is complex. While we don’t have publicly accessible data breaking down crime statistics by individual town, we can assess the overall crime situation for the entire Rutland Local Authority District (LAD).
Rutland, as a LAD, has a population of 41,443. The overall crime rate for Rutland stands at 46.7 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably lower than the United Kingdom’s average crime rate of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people. This suggests a generally lower level of crime within Rutland compared to the rest of the country.
To further gauge safety, Rutland boasts a safety score of 89 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79. This higher safety score reinforces the perception of Rutland as a relatively safe area. It's important to note that a safety score is a composite metric likely considering factors beyond just reported crime, such as perceptions of safety and community cohesion.
It is likely that crime rates do vary between the different towns within Rutland, as is typical in any region. Factors such as population density, socioeconomic conditions, and the presence of specific industries could all influence local crime patterns. However, without granular data, we cannot definitively state which towns have higher or lower rates.
For those seeking more detailed information, contacting Rutland County Council or local police services would be the best approach. They may be able to provide more localized crime data, although access may be restricted due to privacy and operational considerations. The data provided indicates that, overall, Rutland is a safer area than many parts of the UK, but individual town-level variations likely exist.
