Brundall Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Brundall's September 2024 crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents places the area 63.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a position that highlights its status as one of the safest built-up areas in the country. The crime profile reveals a mix of public order offences (35.7% of total incidents) and violence and sexual offences (35.7%), with both categories showing distinct patterns relative to national averages. Public order crimes, though rising 25% month-on-month, remain 79% above the UK average, possibly reflecting the area's unique social dynamics or the influence of seasonal transitions such as the return to school. Violence and sexual offences, while slightly down from August, are 62% below the UK average, a disparity that may be attributed to Brundall's relatively small population and the absence of high-risk environments typically associated with violent crime. Other theft (21.4% of total crimes) and 'other crime' (7.1%) complete the breakdown, with the latter category slightly exceeding the UK average. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return of students and shorter evenings—likely contributes to the fluctuation in public order offences, though the overall trend remains one of safety and stability. This low-crime environment may be sustained by factors such as community engagement, local policing strategies, or the area's character as a low-density built-up area within Broadland.

September saw a 25% increase in public order offences (5 incidents) compared to August, the most significant rise among crime categories. This surge, though still 79% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, may reflect the impact of September's seasonal shift—shorter evenings and the return of students to local schools and universities. Conversely, violent crimes fell by 16.7% (from 6 to 5 incidents), a drop that positions Brundall 62% below the UK average for this category. Other theft crimes saw a dramatic 200% increase (1 to 3 incidents), though this remains within the UK average range. The area's violent crime rate is 62% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or environmental factors that mitigate aggression. Residents may find the 0.2 per 1,000 rate for 'other crime'—a category including anti-social behaviour and vandalism—particularly reassuring, as it is 18% above the UK average but still among the lowest in the country.

Brundall's crime rate in September 2024 (2.8 per 1,000 residents) marks a 51.8% decline from the previous month's 5.7 per 1,000, continuing a downward trend that has likely contributed to the area's position as one of the safest in the UK. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 363 residents, a statistic that underscores the rarity of criminal activity in this built-up area. Daily crime figures show an average of 0 crimes per day, a figure that, while seemingly paradoxical, reflects the low overall volume of incidents recorded. This stark contrast to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000 highlights the effectiveness of local policing or the unique characteristics of Brundall as a low-crime environment. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the likelihood of experiencing crime here is significantly lower than in most other parts of the country, though seasonal factors such as the return to school and shorter evenings may still influence local patterns.
