Hollywood Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile in Hollywood during February 2024 reveals a distinct balance between violent and non-violent offences, shaped by local dynamics and seasonal factors. With a total crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents—47.9% below the UK average—the area demonstrates a markedly lower level of criminal activity compared to national benchmarks. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 36.4% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (31.8%) and burglary (18.2%). This mix suggests a community grappling with interpersonal conflicts and public order issues. The dominance of violent crime in Hollywood contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically dominate. Seasonal context plays a role: February, a winter month with reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, may contribute to the lower overall crime rate. However, the prominence of violence and anti-social behaviour could reflect underlying social tensions or the influence of local factors such as community density and public space usage. Burglary rates in Hollywood (0.7 per 1,000) are 133% above the UK average, indicating a specific vulnerability in residential security that warrants attention. This anomaly may be linked to the built-up area’s characteristics, such as proximity to commercial zones or a higher concentration of properties in need of improved security measures. The low rate of vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000) and theft from the person (0.2 per 1,000) further highlight the area’s divergence from typical patterns in urban centres, where such offences are more common. These statistics illustrate a community where interpersonal crime and disorder are the primary concerns, rather than theft or property-related issues.

February 2024 saw significant fluctuations in crime types compared to January, with burglary surging by 300% (from 1 to 4 incidents) and violence and sexual offences rising by 166.7% (from 3 to 8). These increases contrast sharply with a 75% drop in vehicle crime (from 4 to 1), suggesting shifting priorities or patterns among offenders. The crime mix also shifted notably: violent crime now constitutes 36.4% of all incidents, compared to 18.2% for property crime, a reversal of the previous month’s balance. This shift may reflect seasonal dynamics, with colder weather and reduced outdoor activity potentially driving more indoor confrontations. Hollywood’s burglary rate (0.7 per 1,000) is 133% above the UK average, while its rate of anti-social behaviour (1.2 per 1,000) is 14% above the national average. These figures highlight local challenges in residential security and community engagement. Conversely, other theft (0.2 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000) remain well below UK averages, with other theft 64% and vehicle crime 55% lower than national benchmarks. This divergence underscores the area’s unique characteristics, influenced by its built-up environment and population density. A resident might find the 300% increase in burglary particularly concerning, as it represents a significant risk to household security despite the overall low crime rate.

Hollywood’s crime rate in February 2024 (3.7 per 1,000 residents) marks a 22.2% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.0 per 1,000.9% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 1 crime per day over 29 days, a figure that, while low, reflects the volatility in certain crime types. When scaled to the local population of 5,970 residents, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 271 residents. This ratio places Hollywood in a category of relatively safe communities, though the 300% surge in burglary and 166.7% rise in violent crime suggest localized vulnerabilities. The population-scaled perspective is particularly meaningful for residents, as it illustrates that the likelihood of experiencing a crime is significantly lower than the national average. However, the sharp increases in specific categories—particularly burglary—highlight the need for targeted interventions. The UK average of 7.1 per 1,000 residents serves as a stark contrast, emphasizing Hollywood’s success in maintaining a low overall crime rate despite the upward trend in certain offences. This comparison underscores the importance of context: while the area is statistically safer than most parts of the UK, the month-on-month changes indicate that specific challenges must be addressed to prevent further escalation in violent and property-related crimes.
