Determining the 'safest streets' in Tamworth requires understanding the area's overall crime statistics. Tamworth, a Local Authority District (LAD) with a population of 81,117, demonstrates a lower crime rate than the UK average. The overall crime rate in Tamworth stands at 81.3 incidents per 1,000 residents, compared to a UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests a relatively safer environment than many other areas within the United Kingdom.
Furthermore, Tamworth has a safety score of 80 out of 100, exceeding the UK average of 79. This score reflects a perceived level of safety based on available data. While the safety score provides a broad indication, it doesn't identify specific streets. It's important to note that crime rates can vary significantly even within small geographical areas.
It's also helpful to consider violent crime rates. Tamworth's violent crime rate is 35.0 per 1,000 residents. While this is a significant figure, it doesn't automatically indicate unsafe streets; it simply provides context within the overall crime picture.
Unfortunately, specific street-level crime data is not available in this dataset. Therefore, identifying the absolute safest streets within Tamworth is not possible based on this information alone. However, areas with higher visibility, strong community presence (such as active neighbourhood watch schemes), and good street lighting tend to feel safer and may experience lower reported crime rates. We recommend consulting with local residents and reviewing publicly available police reports (where available) for more granular insights into specific streets and neighbourhoods within Tamworth. Understanding the broader context of Tamworth’s crime statistics, however, offers a more positive picture than the national average.
