Hollywood Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile in Hollywood for February 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, shaped by the area’s character as a built-up part of Bromsgrove. With a total crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents — 47.8% below the UK average — the data highlights a safer-than-average environment. Violence and sexual offences dominate the monthly tally, contributing 38.1% of all crimes (8 incidents), a rate of 1.3 per 1,000 residents. This is 45% below the UK average for the same category, suggesting factors such as community cohesion or effective local policing may contribute to lower rates of serious violence. Property crimes follow closely, with 9 incidents (1.5 per 1,000 residents), but these are evenly split between vehicle crime (4 cases, 0.7 per 1,000) and anti-social behaviour (3 cases, 0.5 per 1,000). The seasonal context of February as a winter month, marked by reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, may partly explain the relatively low overall crime rate. However, the prominence of vehicle crime — 89% above the UK average — hints at vulnerabilities in car-related theft or unsecured parking areas. This mix of crime types illustrates a community where personal safety is prioritised, but where targeted property crimes remain a concern, linked to the area’s built-up nature and proximity to transport hubs.

February 2025 saw notable shifts in Hollywood’s crime mix, with robbery and anti-social behaviour both doubling from the previous month. Robbery, which had not been reported in January, rose to 1 incident (0.2 per 1,000 residents), a 150% increase compared to the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, surged from 0 to 3 cases, reflecting a 100% month-on-month increase. These spikes may be linked to seasonal factors, such as shorter days and colder weather, which could encourage indoor gatherings or alter patterns of public interaction. In contrast, violence and sexual offences decreased by 20% (from 10 to 8 cases), indicating the success of local initiatives targeting domestic or community-based conflicts. Vehicle crime, though a persistent issue, remained significantly higher than the UK average (0.7 vs 0.4 per 1,000), suggesting a need for enhanced vehicle security measures in residential areas. For residents, the most immediate concern may be the rise in anti-social behaviour, which could be addressed through community engagement or increased foot patrols in key areas. The data also underscores that while Hollywood’s overall crime rate is well below the UK average, specific categories like vehicle crime and robbery demand targeted attention.

Hollywood’s crime rate for February 2025 (3.5 per 1,000 residents) represents a 5.1% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.4 per 1,000.8% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This small upward trend contrasts with the broader UK context, where crime rates are typically higher in urban areas. On a daily basis, Hollywood experienced an average of 1 crime per day over the 28-day month, a figure that, while low, may raise awareness for residents about the need for vigilance in specific areas. When scaled to the population of 5,970, the monthly exposure rate of 1 crime per 284 residents illustrates that the likelihood of being directly affected by crime is relatively low, yet not negligible. This comparison highlights Hollywood’s position as a safer-than-average area, particularly in categories like violence and sexual offences, where the rate is 45% below the UK average. However, the 89% increase in vehicle crime compared to the UK average underscores a unique vulnerability that local authorities may need to address. The slight rise in crime from January to February, though modest, serves as a reminder that even low-crime areas require ongoing monitoring and community involvement to maintain their safety profile.
