The question of how Endon's crime rates compare to the rest of Staffordshire is a valid one, and the data paints a reassuring picture. Endon, a Built-Up Area (BUA) within Staffordshire Moorlands, exhibits a crime rate of 49.8 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
To put this in context, let’s examine neighbouring areas. Stanley (also in Staffordshire Moorlands) has a crime rate of 59.7 per 1,000 residents, while Brown Edge reports a rate of 53.2 per 1,000. Notably, Longsdon boasts an exceptionally low crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents, and Cheddleton reports 27.7 per 1,000. Therefore, Endon’s crime rate is lower than Stanley and Brown Edge, and higher than Longsdon and Cheddleton, but still considerably below the UK average.
Beyond raw crime numbers, Endon’s safety score further reinforces this impression. With a safety score of 88 out of 100, Endon is considerably safer than the UK average of 79. This score likely takes into account factors beyond reported crime, such as perceptions of safety and the prevalence of community support initiatives. It’s important to remember that crime rates are statistical representations and individual experiences can vary. While Endon appears relatively safe based on the data, personal safety remains a priority. Understanding the specific types of crime occurring within an area, though not provided in this dataset, can further inform personal safety decisions.
It's also crucial to acknowledge the limitations of this data. The dataset represents a snapshot in time and doesn't reflect trends over longer periods. However, the immediate comparison clearly shows Endon to be a safer place than the UK average and most of its immediate neighbours.
