The question of how Manningtree residents feel about recent crime statistics is a valid one, and understanding the data provides some clarity. Based on available information, Manningtree, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) within Tendring, presents a picture of relative safety compared to the national average.
With a population of 1694, Manningtree's crime rate currently stands at 87.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is slightly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. It's important to remember that crime rates are complex and influenced by numerous factors, making direct comparisons challenging without deeper contextual analysis.
Adding to this positive outlook is Manningtree’s safety score, which is recorded as 81 out of 100. This is also above the UK average safety score of 79. A higher safety score generally indicates a greater perception of safety amongst residents. It suggests that, while crime does occur, the overall feeling of security within the community is comparatively strong.
It’s difficult to ascertain the specific emotional response of Manningtree residents without conducting a local survey. However, the statistical data suggests a degree of reassurance. The lower crime rate and higher safety score, when compared to the national averages, would likely contribute to a feeling of relative safety amongst the population. It is worth noting that statistics alone don’t tell the whole story; individual experiences and perceptions can vary significantly.
Essex Police provides resources and guidance for residents, and it's recommended that individuals familiarise themselves with these to enhance their personal safety and contribute to community safety initiatives. Reporting any suspicious activity remains vital, regardless of overall statistical trends.
