Overall Crime Rate Of 98.3 Crimes Per 1000 People
Arguably one of the UK’s most historic cities, and a major attraction for its county of Cheshire, Chester’s crumbling city walls, period architecture and preserved castle provide subtle hints towards its ancient importance. In the modern world, it’s a thriving city with a worrying crime rate of 98.3 crimes per 1000 residents.
As part of those soaring numbers, we see high rates of violent crime (4146 offences) and antisocial behaviour (1610 offences), but it’s Chester’s rate of theft from the person (75 offences) that shows an alarming trend at almost double Cheshire’s countywide average.
