Brundall Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brundall's crime rate in May 2025 stood at 1.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 80.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure reflects a continuation of the area's consistently low crime profile, though the breakdown of offences reveals shifting patterns. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences each accounted for 25% of reported crimes, with anti-social behaviour at 0.4 per 1,000 — 72% below the UK average. Public order offences, at 0.4 per 1,000, were 31% below the national rate, suggesting local initiatives in community policing or public space management may be effective. The area's low property crime rate — just 1 incident — contrasts with the UK's higher average, but the small number of incidents means statistical significance is limited. Seasonal factors in May, such as longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, likely contributed to the rise in public order issues, which doubled compared to April. However, the sharp decline in violence and sexual offences — down 85.7% — indicates a possible reduction in alcohol-fuelled incidents or improved targeted interventions. Brundall's overall safety remains a standout feature, though the increase in 'Other crime' and public order matters signals areas for further scrutiny. The low crime rate is consistent with Brundall's character as a built-up area within Broadland, where a mix of residential and commercial spaces may contribute to lower rates of burglary or vehicle crime compared to more densely populated urban centres. This data underscores the need for continued monitoring of emerging trends, particularly in public order and 'Other crime' categories, while reinforcing the area's success in maintaining a safe environment overall.

May 2025 saw a 100% increase in 'Other crime' and 'Public order' offences compared to April, with both categories doubling from one to two incidents. This rise contrasts sharply with an 85.7% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from seven to one incident — a significant shift in the crime mix. Anti-social behaviour, the most common category, decreased by 33.3% despite seasonal factors that typically encourage outdoor socialising. Brundall's 'Other crime' rate is 25% above the UK average, a rare anomaly in an area that otherwise performs well below national benchmarks. Residents should be aware that while violent crime has declined, the doubling of public order issues may reflect increased foot traffic or social activity linked to May's longer evenings. The data also shows anti-social behaviour at 0.4 per 1,000 — 72% below the UK average — suggesting local efforts in community engagement may be effective. However, the uptick in 'Other crime' warrants attention, as this category often includes less-defined incidents that could signal emerging trends.

Brundall's crime rate in May 2025 fell by 46.8% compared to April, reflecting a marked improvement in overall safety. This decline follows a previous month's rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents, bringing the current figure to 1.6 per 1,000 — a stark contrast to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 636 residents, a statistic that underscores the area's relative safety. Daily crime figures show an average of 0 crimes per day in Brundall, a local calculation that does not include UK-wide comparisons. This low frequency means that the likelihood of encountering crime in daily life remains minimal, though the small number of reported incidents requires continued vigilance. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Brundall's crime rate is exceptionally low, with the monthly exposure metric illustrating that most residents experience no crime at all during the month. This context is critical for residents assessing personal risk and for local authorities evaluating long-term trends.
