The question of how safe Harlaxton is during the evening and night hours is a reasonable concern, and we'll address it directly using available data. Harlaxton, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in South Kesteven, has a population of 2234. Overall, the area presents a relatively safe environment when compared to the UK average.
The crime rate in Harlaxton stands at 64.5 incidents per 1,000 residents, significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests that, statistically, you are less likely to experience crime in Harlaxton than in many other parts of the United Kingdom. The overall safety score for Harlaxton is 85 out of 100, again exceeding the UK average of 79. This composite score considers various factors contributing to perceived safety.
However, a deeper look reveals a more nuanced picture. While the general crime rate is favourable, the violent crime rate is 22.4 per 1,000, and the night safety score is notably lower at 9/100. This indicates that while Harlaxton isn't experiencing a high volume of overall crime, residents may feel less secure during the night. A night safety score of 9/100 is considerably lower than the overall safety score, suggesting that factors specific to nighttime conditions may be impacting perceived safety. It's important to note that this score doesn't necessarily reflect a spike in crime, but could be influenced by factors like lighting, visibility, or the presence of security measures.
It's crucial to interpret these statistics within context. A lower population density, as often found in BUAs, can impact crime reporting and perception. While the data suggests a lower risk of crime compared to the national average, individual experiences can vary, and exercising caution remains prudent, particularly during the evening and night hours. We do not have information about specific incidents or crime types within the specified timeframe, but the available data provides a general overview of safety levels.
