Is New Houghton safe? What the crime data shows
Kerbside does not classify New Houghton as safe or unsafe. The published 12-month Police.uk dataset records 57.1 incidents per 1,000 residents, including antisocial behaviour. Reporting, policing, visitor numbers and the source coverage all affect the figure.
| Total incidents in the period | 148 |
|---|---|
| Incidents per 1,000 residents | 57.1 |
| Population denominator | 2,590 |
| Violence and sexual offences per 1,000 | 22.8 |
| Antisocial behaviour per 1,000 | 5.4 |
| Burglary per 1,000 | 5.4 |
| Vehicle crime per 1,000 | 2.7 |
| Robbery per 1,000 | 1.5 |
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.
