Hollywood Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Hollywood's crime rate for July 2025 stood at 2.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a striking 70.9% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure underscores the area's consistently lower crime profile relative to national benchmarks, a trend that has persisted across multiple months. The breakdown reveals a distinct pattern in crime types, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 53.3% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 20.0%. These figures align with Hollywood's character as a relatively low-density built-up area within Bromsgrove, where community policing and limited nightlife infrastructure likely contribute to the subdued violent crime rates. Seasonal context plays a notable role in shaping these statistics, as July typically sees increased foot traffic from tourists attending local festivals and outdoor events. However, the absence of major retail hubs or high-density housing developments appears to mitigate risks associated with property crime, which accounted for only 20% of total incidents. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 3.0 per 1,000, yet Hollywood's rate of 1.3 per 1,000 remains 57% below this figure, suggesting a combination of geographic factors and community engagement initiatives may be at play. While the month's warm weather and school holidays could theoretically increase opportunities for certain crimes, the data indicates that local conditions and policing strategies have successfully counterbalanced these seasonal pressures.

July 2025 saw a 20.0% decrease in violence and sexual offences compared to June, with incidents dropping from 10 to 8. This reduction may be linked to increased community engagement during local festivals, which often involve visible policing and public safety campaigns. Conversely, shoplifting incidents surged by 100%, rising from 0 to 2 cases, a spike that could be attributed to increased foot traffic from summer tourism. Drug-related crimes also doubled month-on-month, with 1 incident reported in July after none in June. While these increases are notable, they remain significantly below UK averages: shoplifting in Hollywood (0.3 per 1,000) is 54% below the national rate of 0.7 per 1,000. The crime mix in Hollywood remains heavily weighted towards violent offences (53.3% share), a pattern that contrasts with the UK average where property crimes constitute a larger proportion. This divergence highlights the area's unique demographic profile, with limited commercial activity reducing property crime opportunities while maintaining a relatively stable population base. A resident would find the 1-in-398 monthly exposure rate (1 crime per 398 residents) particularly relevant, as it contextualises the low probability of personal victimisation in this area.

Hollywood's crime rate in July 2025 (2.5 per 1,000) represents a 32.0% decrease from June's rate of 3.7 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained downward trend over recent months. When compared to the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, this places Hollywood in an exceptionally low-risk category, with its rate 70.9% below the national figure. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day in July, a statistic that, while seemingly paradoxical, reflects the small population size and low total incident count (15 crimes over 31 days). This daily figure should be interpreted with caution, as it represents an average that may not capture short-term fluctuations. When considering the monthly exposure rate, residents of Hollywood faced a 1-in-398 chance of being directly affected by a reported crime in July, a figure that is significantly lower than most UK areas. This statistic is particularly meaningful when scaled to the area's population of 5,970 residents, as it illustrates the low probability of encountering crime in everyday life. The comparison to the previous month also highlights the effectiveness of local policing strategies, with the 32.0% reduction in crime rate suggesting that targeted interventions have had a measurable impact. These figures, combined with the area's consistently low crime profile, reinforce Hollywood's position as a relatively safe built-up area within Bromsgrove.
