Hagley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Hagley’s November 2025 crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents places the area 69.9% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, underscoring a long-standing safety record. The top crime categories—violence and sexual offences (31.3%), other theft (18.8%), and anti-social behaviour (18.8%)—reflect a pattern consistent with smaller built-up areas where interpersonal disputes and minor property crimes dominate. The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night, may have influenced the modest rise in vehicle crime and burglary, though these remain low in absolute terms. Violence and sexual offences, despite contributing to the highest share of crimes, are 73% below the UK average, likely due to Hagley’s character as a relatively quiet, low-density area with limited nightlife or high-risk public spaces. The overall crime rate’s sustained distance from the UK average suggests that local factors—such as effective community policing, lower population density, or the absence of large retail hubs—play a significant role in maintaining safety. These patterns are further reinforced by the absence of major crime spikes, even during periods of increased foot traffic or seasonal activity.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with vehicle crime, drugs, and burglary each doubling compared to October 2025. This increase, though modest in absolute terms, may partly reflect seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday, which could have heightened activity in certain areas. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell by 40.0% to three incidents, a drop that aligns with the generally lower crime environment in Hagley. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violent offences—despite rising in absolute numbers—remain 73% below the UK average, highlighting a stark contrast with national trends. Other theft and anti-social behaviour also show significant gaps from the UK average, with the former 22% below and the latter 62% below. These figures suggest that Hagley’s crime profile is shaped by local dynamics, such as its relatively compact built-up area and lower population density compared to larger urban centres.

Hagley's November 2025 crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents marks a 20.2% decline from the previous month’s rate of 2.7 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 460 residents, illustrating a low-level exposure to crime relative to the population. Daily crime figures show an average of one crime per day across the 30-day period, a figure that aligns with the area’s historically low crime profile. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Hagley’s crime experience is markedly different from the UK average, where residents face a rate nearly three times higher. This contrast is particularly evident in violent crime, which in Hagley is 73% below the UK average. The consistency in low crime levels suggests that local factors—such as community engagement, policing strategies, or the area’s character as a small built-up area—may contribute to this sustained safety record.
