Hollywood Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Hollywood's crime rate in January 2026 stood at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 52.9% below the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000. This marked divergence from the national picture underscores the area's unique safety profile. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark contrast between violent and property offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 52.6% of all incidents (10 cases), followed by burglary (15.8%) and criminal damage (10.5%). This pattern aligns with the seasonal context of January, a post-holiday period typically marked by reduced retail footfall and shorter days, which may contribute to lower property crime rates. However, the sharp rise in violent offences could be influenced by local factors, such as the built-up area's density or transient populations during the winter months. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.5 per 1,000, meaning Hollywood's rate is 32% below the national benchmark—though this is offset by burglary rates, which are 79% above the UK average. The seasonal context also suggests that the reduced daylight hours and colder weather may limit opportunities for outdoor crimes, which could explain the lower incidence of theft from the person or vehicle-related offences. This interplay between local characteristics and seasonal trends highlights the complexity of crime patterns in a built-up area like Hollywood, where targeted interventions may be needed to address specific vulnerabilities.

January 2026 saw a 66.7% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from six to ten incidents—a stark contrast to the UK average of 2.5 per 1,000, which is 32% below Hollywood's rate. This surge in violent crime may partly explain the overall crime rate's stability, as property crimes remained low. Meanwhile, burglary increased by 50% compared to December, with three incidents recorded, placing the area 79% above the UK average for this category. This anomaly could reflect local vulnerabilities, such as targeted properties in the built-up area. Conversely, other theft and anti-social behaviour both fell by 50%, suggesting temporary reductions in these categories. The most notable shift was the 100% increase in public order offences, which rose from zero to one incident—a figure that, while statistically small, indicates a change in local dynamics. These fluctuations highlight the need for targeted interventions in areas where violent crime and burglary rates diverge from national trends.

Hollywood's crime rate in January 2026 remained stable at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, matching the same rate recorded in December 2025. This consistency suggests no immediate spikes or dips in criminal activity during the month. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that provides a tangible sense of frequency for local residents. When viewed through the lens of population, the monthly exposure translates to one crime occurring for roughly every 314 residents, a ratio that underscores the relatively low incidence of crime compared to the UK average. This population-scaled perspective highlights the area's safety profile, particularly when contrasted with the UK's overall rate of 6.8 per 1,000. The data also reveals that Hollywood's crime mix diverges from national trends in specific categories, such as burglary, which exceeds the UK average by 79%, while violence and sexual offences fall 32% below the national benchmark. These divergences warrant further exploration of local factors influencing crime patterns, such as the area's built-up character and seasonal dynamics.
