The question of whether specific areas within Huntington (York) are considered more dangerous than others can be addressed by examining available crime data. Huntington (York), classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) within York, has a population of 10,949. Crucially, its crime rate stands at 87.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly lower than the UK average crime rate of 91.6 per 1,000 residents.
It's important to note that a crime rate is a statistical measure and doesn’t pinpoint specific problem areas within Huntington. The data doesn’t provide a breakdown of crime types or locations within the BUA. Therefore, it’s impossible to definitively state that certain streets or neighbourhoods within Huntington are inherently more dangerous than others based solely on the available information.
However, the safety score for Huntington (York) is 82/100, which is higher than the UK average of 79/100. This suggests that residents generally perceive Huntington as a relatively safe place to live. A higher safety score implies a lower perceived risk of crime and a greater sense of security among the population.
While Huntington's overall crime rate is slightly below the national average and its safety score is above average, it is vital to remember that crime can occur anywhere. Individual experiences and perceptions of safety can vary significantly. Further localized data, such as street-level crime maps (if available from local authorities), would be needed to identify any specific hotspots within Huntington. Always consult official sources from North Yorkshire Police for the most up-to-date information and reporting procedures.
