Brundall Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Brundall’s crime rate in September 2023 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 62.5% below the UK average of 8.0. This figure reflects a built-up area within Broadland that has historically maintained a low crime profile, likely influenced by its relatively small population and the absence of major urban features that typically correlate with higher crime rates. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (33.3% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (another 33.3%). These categories suggest a focus on interpersonal conflicts and public disturbances, which may be partially linked to the seasonal shift in September—a time when back-to-school activities and university freshers events begin to influence local dynamics. The area’s low rate of property crime, particularly vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000), contrasts with national trends, possibly due to the lack of high-traffic commercial zones or commuter parking hubs that often drive such incidents. While the overall crime rate is low, the increase in anti-social behaviour and the spike in vehicle crime highlight areas for continued monitoring. The absence of major violent crime spikes compared to previous months may indicate seasonal factors, such as the transition into autumn, which could reduce outdoor activity and associated risks. However, the area’s consistently low rate compared to the UK average suggests that Brundall’s community structure, policing strategies, or socioeconomic factors may play a role in sustaining its safety record.

September 2023 saw a striking 150% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% jump in vehicle crime, highlights a shift in crime patterns despite an overall 42.3% drop in the area’s crime rate. Violence and sexual offences, which had previously been the most common category, fell by 54.5% to 5 incidents—a significant reduction that may reflect seasonal factors such as the start of the academic year. Brundall’s rate for violent crime is 64% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour remains 25% lower than national levels. The increase in vehicle crime, though modest in absolute terms, is noteworthy as it marks the first recorded incident in the category this year. For residents, the most concrete takeaway is the 54.5% decline in violence and sexual offences, which could indicate improved community safety measures or a temporary dip linked to the transition into autumn.

Brundall's crime rate in September 2023 fell by 42.3% compared to the previous month, dropping from 5.1 to 3.0 per 1,000 residents. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with a rate 62.5% below the national average of 8.0. Locally, the daily crime count averaged roughly zero incidents per day over the month, reflecting a rare level of quiet in a built-up area. On a monthly basis, one reported crime occurred for every 339 residents, a figure that underscores the low exposure to crime in Brundall relative to its population size. When compared to the UK average, the area’s violent crime rate is 64% lower, and anti-social behaviour is 25% below the national level. These figures suggest that Brundall’s community dynamics—possibly influenced by its smaller size and lower population density—may contribute to its consistently low crime profile. The absence of a daily UK-wide benchmark means local residents can take comfort in the area’s unique safety record, though broader national trends remain contextually relevant.
