The question of whether specific areas within Brockworth experience higher rates of violent crime is a valid concern. Examining the available data for Brockworth in Tewkesbury (BUA), we can assess the overall picture. The area has a population of 14,628 and a crime rate of 64.1 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000.
It's important to remember that a crime rate is a broad measure and doesn’t pinpoint specific hotspots. While the overall crime rate is lower, it doesn't negate the possibility of localised areas experiencing a disproportionate number of incidents. Unfortunately, the data provided does not break down crime rates by smaller geographical areas within Brockworth. Therefore, we cannot identify specific streets or neighbourhoods with demonstrably higher violent crime rates.
However, Brockworth boasts a commendable safety score of 84 out of 100, exceeding the UK average of 79. This suggests that residents generally perceive the area as safe. The lower crime rate compared to the national average is a positive indicator.
