We have analysed how safe Bayswater is when compared to other areas. We’ve spent a lot of time doing the maths and trawling through data so to give you an accurate picture.
To help you we also came to a safety rating based off overall crime and violent crime.
How did we get these ratings? Firstly we dug into official crime statistics which are published by the police.
From there we examined census data in order to work out the average number of crimes per resident in each specific area.
How Safe Is Bayswater?
Per 1,000 residents in Bayswater there were 242 crimes last year. This compares to the London average of about 95 crimes per 1,000 residents.
It is very important to note however that there are certain areas of London there are a lot of crimes but not many residents.
Take an extreme example being Heathrow Airport.
They still have crime in Heathrow airport, such as shoplifting, but there are essentially no residents.
Say hypothetically speaking Tom Hanks was reprising his role in The Terminal and living there, then the crimes per resident would be through the roof.
This is to the extreme, but this shortage of residents makes prime central London perform poorly in crimes per residents statistics.
This is due to the fact there are millions of passers through (tourists and alike) and comparatively few people living there.
We say that just so you aren’t alarmed at the crime per 1,000 rates in the heart of the City.
