Variable Importance
- The most important factor for predicting the category of Very Low to Very High risk is the Total Street Length (km) combined in the LSOA.
- Area and Population are also important variables, however there are some demographic factors in the top ten variables:
- No Qualifications
- Crime Score
- Three LSOAs were removed from the risk assessment as they were outliers in terms of the number of incidents during the sample.

Predicted Risk Cluster
- Using the top ranked risk variables, the model predicts the risk level in each LSOA.
- This map summarises the output in terms of whether each LSOA is most likely to be Very Low to Very High risk.
- Most of the highest risk LSOAs are in rural areas.
