Brundall's March 2023 crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents stands in stark contrast to the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, representing a 76.3% deficit. This exceptionally low rate positions Brundall as an outlier in the national crime profile, particularly notable for its minimal property crime and comparatively lower incidence of violence than the UK average for this category.

This proportion is significant given the overall low rate, suggesting a concentration of incidents in this category despite the area's general safety.

Seasonal factors in March — the transition to spring and the lengthening of evenings — may have influenced activity patterns, though the low overall rate suggests that these factors had limited impact on crime levels. The area's built-up nature within a broader rural context likely contributes to its unique crime profile, where limited urban density and community cohesion may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime while leaving others, such as anti-social behaviour, more visible in a smaller population. This pattern is consistent with other rural-adjacent built-up areas, where crime tends to be both lower in frequency and more concentrated in specific categories.

March 2023 revealed a notable shift in crime patterns, with violent crimes accounting for 55.6% of total incidents — a proportion significantly higher than the UK average for this category.

The month-on-month comparison showed no significant change from February, maintaining the low overall rate of 1.8 per 1,000. However, anti-social behaviour remained a persistent concern, making up 33.3% of reported crimes.

Brundall's March 2023 crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents marks a 76.3% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast reflects the area's unique characteristics, possibly shaped by its rural-urban blend and low population density. Over 31 days, the area recorded just 0.29 crimes per day on average, highlighting the rarity of incidents.

These statistics suggest a community where crime is not only infrequent but also concentrated in specific, low-impact categories.
