The question of whether vehicle crime is more common in specific areas of Deeping St Nicholas is complex. Based on available data from 2012, Deeping St Nicholas (classified as a Built-Up Area or BUA) presents a nuanced picture. The overall crime rate for the area is 71.1 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests Deeping St Nicholas is generally a safer area than many others in the country.
However, the data doesn’t pinpoint specific locations within Deeping St Nicholas where vehicle crime is particularly prevalent. The provided information focuses on the area as a whole. It's important to note that even with a lower overall crime rate, localised spikes or patterns can still occur. The property crime rate, recorded at 19.4 incidents per 1,000 residents, provides further context to the overall crime landscape. While not exclusively related to vehicle crime, property crime often indicates areas with vulnerabilities that could also be exploited for vehicle theft or related offences.
Deeping St Nicholas boasts a safety score of 83/100, exceeding the UK average of 79. This score reflects a perceived level of safety among residents, indicating a generally positive feeling of security. While this is encouraging, it’s crucial to remember that safety scores are subjective and based on perceptions, not solely on crime statistics.
Without more granular data (such as street-level crime maps), it’s impossible to identify specific hotspots within Deeping St Nicholas. Local police reports and community forums might provide more detailed insights into recent incidents and potential problem areas. It is always recommended to check with South Holland District Council or the local police force for the most up-to-date information and advice on crime prevention.
