The question of whether there are specific locations in North Tawton where violent crime is more likely is a common one. Unfortunately, data granular enough to pinpoint specific locations within the built-up area (BUA) of North Tawton is not available. The data we have relates to the BUA as a whole, encompassing the entire area of North Tawton in West Devon.
North Tawton's overall crime rate stands at 38.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This suggests that, on the whole, North Tawton is a relatively safe place. The area's safety score is 90 out of 100, which is also above the UK average of 79, further reinforcing this perception of safety.
However, the absence of location-specific data means we cannot identify particular streets or areas within North Tawton where violent crime is statistically more prevalent. It’s important to remember that crime can fluctuate and be influenced by a variety of factors. The reported crime rate reflects incidents that have been brought to the attention of the authorities. It doesn’t necessarily indicate where crime is most likely to occur, simply where it has been reported.
While we can’t provide details on specific locations, understanding the broader context of North Tawton’s safety is key. The community is encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings and to report any suspicious activity to the police. Local community groups and neighbourhood watch schemes often play a vital role in promoting safety and security within the BUA. Information regarding these groups can usually be found on the West Devon Borough Council website or by contacting the local police non-emergency line.
