Hollywood Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Hollywood in February 2026 reveals a distinctive balance between property and violent crimes, with each category contributing 33.3% of the total incidents recorded. This equilibrium contrasts with the UK-wide pattern, where violence and sexual offences typically dominate. At 3.0 per 1,000 residents, Hollywood’s crime rate is 53.1% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000, a disparity that likely reflects the area’s built-up character and lower population density compared to major urban centres. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, remained 57% below the UK average, suggesting a strong local emphasis on community safety initiatives or reduced opportunities for such crimes. Vehicle crime, however, surged to 0.7 per 1,000 residents, 100% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000, indicating a potential vulnerability linked to the area’s infrastructure or seasonal factors. February’s low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull may have contributed to the overall decline in crime, though the spike in vehicle-related offences highlights a specific risk point. The area’s crime mix is further shaped by its built-up nature, where vehicle crime is more prevalent than in rural settings, and anti-social behaviour remains a significant but manageable concern, 45% below the UK average. These patterns suggest that Hollywood’s crime environment is influenced by a combination of local geography, population dynamics, and seasonal rhythms, creating a profile that diverges from both national trends and its own historical data.

February 2026 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Hollywood, with vehicle crime increasing by 100% compared to the previous month. This surge, from zero to four incidents, placed vehicle crime 100% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000 residents. The rise in vehicle-related offences may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased car usage during colder weather or unseasonal events disrupting typical traffic patterns. Conversely, burglary decreased by 66.7%, falling from three to one incident, a decline that aligns with the broader trend of reduced property crime in the area. Violence and sexual offences also dropped by 40%, from 10 to six incidents, though this category remained 57% below the UK average. The crime mix in Hollywood remains balanced between property and violent crimes, each contributing 33.3% of the total. This equilibrium contrasts with the UK profile, where violence and sexual offences dominate. For residents, the sharp increase in vehicle crime offers a specific concern, highlighting the need for targeted awareness around vehicle security in the built-up area.

Hollywood's crime rate in February 2026 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a 5.0% decrease from the previous month's 3.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the seasonal context of February, a winter month marked by reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull in public engagement. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the 28-day period, reflecting a low-frequency pattern consistent with its built-up character. When scaled to the local population of 5,970, this translates to one reported crime for every 332 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate underscores the area’s comparatively low crime environment, particularly when contrasted with the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000. While the daily crime count provides a snapshot of activity, the monthly figure offers a broader perspective on how residents experience crime over time. The population-scaled statistic is especially meaningful for local residents, illustrating that the likelihood of encountering crime in Hollywood remains significantly lower than the national average, even during a month typically associated with reduced public activity.
