The current trend in crime statistics for Moor Park, a Built-Up Area (BUA) within Three Rivers, is unfortunately showing an increase. Our data indicates a year-on-year (YoY) rise of 8.1%. While this represents an upward movement, it's important to contextualise it within the area's overall statistics. Moor Park has a population of 5842 and a crime rate of 36.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents, suggesting that despite the increase, Moor Park remains relatively safe.
The safety score for Moor Park is currently 91 out of 100, which is also considerably higher than the UK average of 79. This high safety score provides a broader perspective on the area’s safety profile; a rising crime trend does not automatically equate to a dangerous environment. The 8.1% YoY increase requires further examination to understand the types of crimes contributing to this rise. Detailed breakdowns of specific crime categories (e.g., theft, assault, vandalism) would offer a more granular understanding of the situation and allow for targeted preventative strategies.
It's crucial to remember that crime statistics can fluctuate and are subject to reporting variations. While the 8.1% increase indicates a concerning trend, it’s essential to avoid drawing broad conclusions without a deeper analysis of the underlying causes. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police. Staying informed about local crime updates and participating in community initiatives can contribute to a safer environment for everyone in Moor Park.
