Farnham Common and Farnham Royal Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Farnham Common and Farnham Royal recorded a crime rate of 2.9 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, placing the area 60.3% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s relatively low crime profile, a position reinforced by the dominance of specific crime types. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 23.8% of all reported crimes, followed by public order (14.3%) and anti-social behaviour (14.3%). These figures suggest a focus on low-level, often community-driven incidents, which may reflect the area’s character as a semi-rural built-up area with a mix of residential and commercial spaces. The seasonal context of November—marked by events such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping—may have influenced crime patterns, though the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average. For instance, the area’s rate of violence and sexual offences is 73% below the UK average, a gap that could be attributed to the absence of high-density urban environments or targeted policing efforts. Similarly, anti-social behaviour and public order offences are both 62% and 15% below their respective UK averages, indicating a broader trend of reduced disorderly conduct. While the area’s crime rate is low, the seasonal factors of November—such as extended darkness and increased foot traffic during shopping events—may have played a role in shaping the distribution of incidents, though the overall numbers suggest a stable, if not improving, security environment.

November 2025 saw a 70% decrease in vehicle crime compared to the previous month, with the number of incidents falling from 10 to 3. This sharp reduction may partly explain the overall drop in the area’s crime rate, which fell 48.7% from 5.7 to 2.9 per 1,000 residents. Shoplifting also declined by 62.5%, decreasing from 8 to 3 incidents, a change that aligns with broader patterns of reduced property crime. Violence and sexual offences in the area remain 73% below the UK average (0.7 per 1,000 vs 2.6 per 1,000), a disparity that suggests local factors—such as community engagement or policing strategies—may be contributing to this sustained gap. Other theft, which fell 66.7% month-on-month, further illustrates a trend of reduced property-related crime, though its UK average remains higher than the local rate (0.1 vs 0.5 per 1,000). These figures provide a snapshot of how specific crime types are shifting, offering residents a clearer picture of local safety trends.

Farnham Common and Farnham Royal's crime rate in November 2025 dropped 48.7% compared to the previous month, falling from 5.7 to 2.9 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader pattern of reduced crime observed across multiple categories, including vehicle crime (-70%) and shoplifting (-62.5%). On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, a figure that reflects the low overall rate but may appear higher in contexts where crime is concentrated in specific locations or times. Over the course of November, one crime occurred for roughly every 345 residents, a monthly aggregate that places the area well below the UK average when scaled to its population. This statistic, while seemingly abstract, offers a tangible measure of risk for local residents, showing that the likelihood of experiencing a crime in this area remains comparatively low. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that the area’s crime profile is distinct from the UK average, with property crimes and violent offences both contributing to a lower-than-expected rate in key categories.
