Brundall Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,088, Brundall recorded 20 crimes in July 2025, equating to 3.9 crimes per 1,000 residents. This rate is 54.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, reflecting a safer environment compared to national trends. The crime profile shows a stark imbalance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 50% of all incidents (10 crimes) and anti-social behaviour making up 20% (4 crimes). This contrasts sharply with the UK average for violent crimes, which stands at 3.0 per 1,000, with Brundall’s rate 34% lower. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, school holidays, and festival activity—may partly explain the higher proportion of violent incidents, as increased foot traffic and social gatherings could create conditions conducive to such crimes. However, the absence of significant property crime, with burglary at 0.4 per 1,000 (compared to the UK average of 0.3), suggests that Brundall’s built-up area may benefit from effective community policing or environmental factors that deter theft. The low rates of public order offences (0.2 per 1,000, 69% below UK average) and shoplifting (0.2 per 1,000, 69% below UK average) further highlight the area’s relative safety, though the 48% increase in burglary compared to the UK average indicates a potential vulnerability in residential security. This data underscores Brundall’s unique position as a low-crime built-up area within Broadland, where community engagement and seasonal management appear to play a role in maintaining lower crime rates despite the pressures of summer activity.

July 2025 saw notable shifts in Brundall’s crime pattern, with anti-social behaviour surging by 100% (from 2 to 4 incidents) and burglary doubling (from 1 to 2). These increases, however, remain modest when compared to the UK averages—anti-social behaviour is still 48% below the national rate, while burglary is only 48% above. Conversely, public order offences fell sharply by 75% (from 4 to 1), and other theft dropped 66.7% (from 3 to 1), suggesting a potential impact of seasonal changes or local interventions. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for half of all crimes, decreased by 23.1% compared to the previous month (from 13 to 10), aligning with the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000 (Brundall’s rate of 2.0 per 1,000 is 34% below). This decline may reflect the dispersed nature of summer events reducing opportunities for targeted violence, though the high proportion of violent crime remains a concern. Residents may find the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, as it could indicate challenges in managing crowds during festivals or outdoor events. The data also highlights the importance of targeted strategies for property crime, given that burglary, though low, is 48% above the UK average—a figure that deserves closer attention for local authorities.

Brundall’s crime rate in July 2025 (3.9 per 1,000) marks a 20.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.9 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained improvement in local safety. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 1 crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that contextualises the low overall rate in terms of immediate risk. When scaled to the population of 5,088, this translates to one reported crime for every 254 residents over the course of the month—a statistic that highlights the rarity of criminal activity in Brundall compared to the UK average. This monthly exposure rate is particularly significant for residents, as it suggests that the likelihood of encountering crime in daily life remains minimal. The contrast with the UK average is even more pronounced when considering specific crime types: for instance, violence and sexual offences in Brundall are 34% below the national rate, while public order offences are 69% below. These figures underscore Brundall’s position as an outlier in the UK’s crime profile, where proactive policing, community engagement, or geographic factors may contribute to the sustained low rates. However, the 48% increase in burglary compared to the UK average indicates that while Brundall is generally safe, targeted efforts to address property crime may still be necessary.
