Horsford Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Horsford, the crime rate of 1.0 per 1,000 residents in November 2025 translates to an exceptionally low risk of encountering crime in daily life. This figure, which is 86.3% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, positions the area as one of the safest in the country. The crime profile reveals a stark contrast to national patterns, with violent crimes — specifically violence and sexual offences — dominating the statistics. These accounted for 66.7% of all incidents, compared to the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a disparity that may reflect the area’s unique social dynamics. Horsford’s built-up nature within Broadland suggests a small, possibly rural or semi-rural community where social cohesion and limited urban density could contribute to lower crime rates. Seasonal factors in November, including the darker evenings of Bonfire Night and the retail frenzy of Black Friday, may have influenced crime patterns, though the overall rate remains strikingly low. The limited number of incidents — just six in total — further underscores the rarity of crime, with property crimes contributing only 16.7% of the total, compared to the UK’s typical emphasis on property-related offences. This data aligns with the area’s likely characteristics as a tightly knit community where crime opportunities are naturally constrained. The low rate of violence and sexual offences, despite the month’s seasonal pressures, may indicate effective local policing or community initiatives that mitigate risks. Residents are likely to feel a strong sense of security, given the minimal exposure to crime and the absence of significant spikes in any category.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 75% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 16 incidents in October to 4 in November. This sharp decline may be influenced by seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and reduced social activity during Bonfire Night. Conversely, other theft rose by 100% (0 to 1 incident), a small but notable increase that could reflect heightened retail activity during Black Friday. Violence and sexual offences in Horsford remain 73% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, suggesting a persistent safety advantage in this area. The crime mix also shifted significantly, with violent crimes accounting for 66.7% of total incidents — a stark contrast to the UK’s broader profile where property crimes often dominate. For residents, the 75% drop in violence offers a tangible reassurance of local safety, though the rise in other thefts warrants cautious monitoring.

Horsford's November 2025 crime rate of 1.0 per 1,000 residents marks a steep decline from the previous month’s rate of 5.7 per 1,000 — a drop of 81.9%. This shift suggests a marked reduction in reported incidents. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day over November, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When viewed through a population lens, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 958 residents — a statistic that, while seemingly abstract, illustrates the infrequency of crime in Horsford compared to broader UK trends. This low rate aligns with the area’s likely characteristics as a small, possibly rural or semi-rural built-up area where community cohesion and limited urban density may naturally suppress crime opportunities. The contrast with the UK average, where 7.3 crimes occur per 1,000 residents, further highlights Horsford’s exceptional position in terms of safety and security.
