Hollywood Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile for Hollywood in May 2025 reveals a clear dominance of violent crime over property crime, a pattern that may reflect both local demographics and seasonal factors. With 7 violent incidents recorded—41.2% of total crimes—compared to 5 property crimes, the area's crime profile in May showed a pronounced tilt towards offences involving personal interaction. This imbalance contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences account for 58% of total crimes, suggesting Hollywood's violent crime rate is 58% below the national benchmark. The most prevalent category, violence and sexual offences, occurred at 1.2 per 1,000 residents, a rate 58% lower than the UK average. Seasonal factors likely contributed to this pattern, as May's longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising may have created conditions conducive to interpersonal conflicts. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.5 per 1,000, was 65% below the UK average, reflecting the area's small size and strong community cohesion. Vehicle crime, though rising to 3 incidents, remained 25% below the UK average, due to limited commercial activity or effective local parking management. These figures, combined with the overall crime rate of 2.9 per 1,000—64.2% below the UK average—illustrate an area where crime prevention efforts are yielding results, though the violent crime dominance raises questions about targeted interventions.

May 2025 saw notable spikes in specific crime categories, including a 100% increase in drug-related incidents, vehicle crime, and criminal damage compared to April. These jumps, though small in absolute terms, suggest emerging patterns that may warrant closer observation. The balance between violent and property crime shifted significantly, with 7 violent crimes recorded—accounting for 41.2% of all incidents—compared to 5 property crimes. This violent crime dominance contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences are 58% below the national rate. Vehicle crime, while rising to 3 incidents (0.5 per 1,000), remained 25% below the UK average, indicating a local factor that suppresses this category. For residents, the most immediately relevant figure is the 100% increase in drug-related crimes, which could signal a need for enhanced community awareness or targeted policing in specific areas.

Hollywood's crime rate in May 2025 stood at 2.9 per 1,000 residents, a slight decline of 5.6% compared to April's 3.0 per 1,000. This monthly decrease aligns with the area's consistently low crime profile, which has remained well below the UK average for over a decade. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in May, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 351 residents, a statistic that highlights the relatively safe environment compared to larger urban centres. The population context further illustrates this safety: with 5,970 residents, the area's small size contributes to a manageable crime profile, where community engagement and local policing likely play a role in maintaining low rates. These figures, while modest, offer reassurance to residents about the ongoing effectiveness of local crime prevention strategies.
