The question of whether specific areas within Rural Uttlesford are particularly prone to vehicle crime is complex. Data for Rural Uttlesford, a rural area within the larger Uttlesford district, reveals a crime rate of 37.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents, suggesting that, overall, the area is relatively safer. The population of Rural Uttlesford is 22,228.
However, the data also includes a property crime rate of 13.0 per 1,000 residents. While this doesn’t isolate vehicle crime specifically, it provides context regarding the broader risk of property-related offences. The safety score for Rural Uttlesford is 91 out of 100, again exceeding the UK average of 79, indicating a generally safe environment.
It’s important to note that the data doesn’t pinpoint specific locations within Rural Uttlesford where vehicle crime is more prevalent. Crime rates can fluctuate, and localised issues can arise without being reflected in overall area statistics. Therefore, while Rural Uttlesford benefits from a lower crime rate overall, vigilance and preventative measures are still essential for vehicle owners. The lower overall crime rate doesn't eliminate risk; it simply suggests a reduced likelihood of experiencing crime compared to other areas in the UK. Further investigation through local police reports and community forums might reveal more granular insights into specific areas experiencing higher rates of vehicle-related incidents, but this data is not available.
