Is Harden safe? What the crime data shows

Kerbside does not classify Harden as safe or unsafe. The published 12-month Police.uk dataset records 35.6 incidents per 1,000 residents, including antisocial behaviour. Reporting, policing, visitor numbers and the source coverage all affect the figure.

The categories shown are a selection, not the whole total. The rate uses the recorded source denominator above, not the newer Census count. Town-wide rates hide differences between streets and neighbourhoods. The population denominator is below 5,000, so this town is not included in the national comparison.

How are schools rated in Harden?

A historical grade does not establish catchment eligibility, available places or suitability for a particular child. Source extraction dates are not inspection dates.

How should deprivation data be read?

Lower deciles indicate greater relative deprivation. The town mean is not an official national town rank or a judgement about individual residents; conditions vary within each town.
