The question of whether certain areas within Lawford experience a disproportionate level of vehicle crime is a valid one. Based on available data, Lawford in Tendring (BUA) has a population of 4805. Importantly, its overall crime rate stands at 41.0 per 1,000 residents, significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6. This suggests that Lawford, as a whole, is generally safer than many other locations in the country, reflected in a safety score of 89 out of 100, compared to a UK average of 79.
However, the question specifically concerns vehicle crime. While specific data pinpointing where vehicle crime is most prevalent within Lawford isn't available in this dataset, the overall crime rate provides context. A property crime rate of 12.5 per 1,000 also gives further insight into the area's safety.
It's crucial to understand that a lower overall crime rate doesn't eliminate the risk of vehicle crime. No area is entirely immune. Factors influencing vehicle crime can include population density, ease of access, and the prevalence of valuable vehicles. While this data doesn't isolate vehicle crime incidents within Lawford, it does indicate that, comparatively, Lawford is a safer location.
