The question of where in Chirk is most affected by criminal damage is a valid concern for residents. Examining the available data for the Built-Up Area (BUA) of Chirk in Wrexham reveals some important context. The population of Chirk (BUA) is 4405 people. The overall crime rate for Chirk is 111.7 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is higher than the United Kingdom average, which stands at 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
It's important to understand that a crime rate statistic represents the total number of reported crimes within an area, not necessarily the distribution of those crimes geographically within that area. The data doesn't specify precise locations within Chirk where criminal damage is concentrated; it provides a general overview for the entire BUA. The safety score for Chirk is 76/100, which is below the UK average of 79/100. This score reflects the perceived safety of the area based on crime data and other factors.
While the data doesn't pinpoint specific streets or neighbourhoods experiencing higher levels of criminal damage, the elevated crime rate compared to the national average suggests a need for increased vigilance. It’s crucial to remember that reported crime data only represents incidents that have been brought to the attention of the authorities. There may be unreported incidents that contribute to the overall feeling of unsafety. Residents should be encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the police and to participate in community safety initiatives.
To gain a more granular understanding of crime patterns, residents can consult the Wrexham Council’s website for localised crime maps and data, if available, or contact the local police for further information. Always remember to report any criminal activity and remain aware of your surroundings.
