Is Grimsby safe?

Grimsby recorded 170.2 crimes per 1,000 residents over the last 12 months — 71% above the England average (99.5) and 52% above the Yorkshire and The Humber average (112.2).

The rate counts every crime recorded in the area but divides only by the people who live there, so busy centres with shops, stations or nightlife read higher than their residential streets.

Its safety score is 42/100 (fair), where 60 is typical for the country.
