Rural Brent Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 1,846, the recording of just four crimes in October 2025 underscores the exceptionally low crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents. This figure places Rural Brent 71.4% below the UK’s overall average of 7.7 per 1,000, a disparity that highlights the area’s distinct security profile. The most common crime types were anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences, each contributing 50% of the total incidents. These categories are lower than their UK counterparts—anti-social behaviour was 13% below the national average of 1.3 per 1,000, while violent crimes were 59% below the UK rate of 2.7 per 1,000. The seasonal context of October, with clocks going back and the approach of Halloween, typically correlates with increased anti-social behaviour in many areas. However, Rural Brent’s data suggests that local factors, such as the built-up area’s rural character within a larger urban borough, may contribute to its low crime environment. The absence of significant spikes in property crimes or theft further reinforces the idea that this area’s crime profile is shaped by its unique demographic and geographic features. While the low population density of 1,846 residents may naturally limit opportunities for certain types of crime, the consistent underperformance relative to the UK average implies broader systemic factors, though these remain speculative without further investigation.

October 2025 saw a significant 50% reduction in anti-social behaviour, the most common crime type in the area, which dropped from 4 incidents in September to 2 in October. This decline, despite the seasonal context of darker evenings and Halloween, suggests that local efforts or environmental factors may have played a role. Violent crimes, which accounted for 50% of total incidents, remained 59% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, a stark contrast to national trends. The breakdown of crimes also shows that anti-social behaviour was 13% below the UK average for this category, indicating a consistent pattern of lower rates in this built-up rural area. For residents, the most tangible insight is the 50% drop in anti-social behaviour—a reduction that may be linked to the area’s low population density and limited public spaces. These figures highlight that, even in a built-up area within a larger borough, crime levels remain remarkably subdued compared to the UK’s overall profile.

In October 2025, the crime rate in Rural Brent dropped to 2.2 per 1,000 residents, a 60% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.4 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with crime levels 71.4% below the national average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, a figure that reflects the rarity of incidents in this small built-up area. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 462 residents, a statistic that underscores the low frequency of criminal activity relative to the population size. This monthly aggregate highlights that, despite the seasonal transition to darker evenings and Halloween festivities, the area’s crime profile remains exceptionally stable. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that, for every 1,000 residents, fewer than three crimes are reported annually, a rate that contrasts sharply with the UK’s broader trends. These figures suggest that the built-up area’s characteristics—such as its rural setting within an urban borough—may contribute to its low crime environment, though can be established without further analysis.
