Charvil, a built-up area within Wokingham, demonstrates a significantly lower crime rate than the national average and many of its neighbouring areas. The crime rate in Charvil stands at 29.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. To put this into perspective, the UK average is considerably higher at 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people. This indicates that Charvil is a relatively safe place to live.
Comparing Charvil to its immediate neighbours reveals further differences. Twyford (Wokingham) has a crime rate of 46.2 per 1,000, Sonning reports 36.1 per 1,000, and Woodley experiences 42.0 per 1,000. Notably, Shiplake presents a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000, which is exceptionally low. This data clearly shows that Charvil's crime rate is substantially lower than those of its surrounding communities, demonstrating a particularly favourable safety profile.
Beyond the raw crime rate figures, Charvil also scores highly in terms of overall safety. It achieves a safety score of 93 out of 100, whereas the UK average is 79. This suggests that residents perceive Charvil as a safe and secure environment. A higher safety score reflects not only low crime rates but also factors like community cohesion, perceived safety levels, and the effectiveness of local policing.
It's important to remember that crime rates can fluctuate, and these figures represent a snapshot in time. However, the data consistently demonstrates Charvil’s advantageous position regarding crime compared to both the broader Wokingham area and the United Kingdom as a whole. While no area is entirely immune to crime, Charvil’s statistics paint a picture of a notably safe and secure community.
