The question of how Corby Glen's crime rate compares to the UK average is a common one for prospective residents and current locals alike. The data reveals that Corby Glen, a Built-Up Area (BUA) located in South Kesteven, exhibits a lower crime rate than the national average. Specifically, Corby Glen’s crime rate stands at 75.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. In contrast, the UK average crime rate is 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
This difference suggests that Corby Glen is, statistically, a safer place than many areas across the United Kingdom. It’s important to note that crime rates are complex and influenced by numerous factors, including population density, socio-economic conditions, and reporting practices. While the raw crime rate provides a useful benchmark, it doesn't paint the entire picture.
Adding context, Corby Glen has a population of 2451 people. The lower crime rate isn't the only positive indicator; Corby Glen also boasts a safety score of 83 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79. A higher safety score, coupled with the lower crime rate, further reinforces the perception of Corby Glen as a relatively safe community. This score likely reflects residents' feelings of security and the overall perception of safety within the area.
It’s crucial to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents. They don't necessarily reflect the prevalence of unreported crime. Nevertheless, the available data offers a clear indication that Corby Glen’s crime rate is below the UK average, contributing to a higher safety score and potentially a greater sense of security amongst its residents. For those considering a move to the area, or simply curious about local safety, these figures provide a reassuring comparison.
