The question of whether specific areas within Manningtree exhibit a heightened risk of vehicle crime requires a closer look at available data. Manningtree in Tendring, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) with a population of 1694, presents a crime rate of 87.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly below the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000.
It's important to note that a crime rate alone doesn’t pinpoint specific high-risk locations. However, the overall safety score for Manningtree is 81/100, which is above the UK average of 79, suggesting a generally safe environment. A further breakdown of crime types reveals a property crime rate of 37.8 per 1,000. While this doesn't directly correlate to vehicle crime, it does indicate that property-related offences are present within the area.
Without more granular data on specific vehicle crime incidents within Manningtree, it’s difficult to identify particular hotspots. General crime prevention advice applies across the entire area. Factors influencing vehicle crime risk often relate to population density, parking habits, and proximity to transport links. Given the BUA classification, parking in public areas is likely common, which can increase vulnerability. It is worth noting that the data available is aggregated and doesn't specify the types of property crimes, so a proportion may involve vehicle-related offences.
To minimise your risk, consider the following: always lock your vehicle, even when parked briefly; avoid leaving valuables in plain sight; consider installing an alarm or immobiliser; and park in well-lit areas whenever possible. Reporting any suspicious activity to the local authorities is also advisable.
