Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green, a built-up area within Buckinghamshire, recorded a crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, placing it 42.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast to the national picture highlights the area’s relatively low crime profile, a trend that may be influenced by its rural-urban hybrid character and lower population density. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 35.9% of all incidents (19 cases), a figure that remains 42% below the UK average for this category. Vehicle crime followed closely, representing 20.8% of total crimes (11 cases), though this rate is 125% above the UK average, a discrepancy that may reflect local factors such as traffic patterns or seasonal events. The month’s seasonal context—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended darkness—likely contributed to fluctuations in crime types, though the overall rate remains stable compared to previous months. While violent crime remains a concern, the area’s performance in categories like shoplifting (52% below UK average) and anti-social behaviour (81% below) suggests a broader trend of lower incident rates in non-violent categories. These patterns may be linked to the area’s character as a low-density residential zone with limited commercial activity compared to major urban centres, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.

November 2025 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with vehicle crime surging by 120% from 5 to 11 incidents. This increase, though localised, contrasts sharply with the UK average for vehicle crime (0.4 per 1,000), where the area is 125% above. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 70% to 3 incidents, and public order offences plummeted by 88.9% to 1, suggesting a seasonal dip in disorderly conduct possibly linked to shorter evenings and post-Black Friday calm. The breakdown of violent crime (19 incidents) remains 42% below the UK average, a trend consistent with the area’s lower population density and quieter residential character. The rise in vehicle crime may reflect increased traffic during the Black Friday shopping period.

Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a 29.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.9. This decline positions the area as safer than the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a gap of 42.5% that underscores its relatively low crime profile. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 2 crimes per day across 30 days, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Monthly exposure to crime here means that, over the course of November, one crime occurred for every 238 residents—a statistic that highlights the area’s overall safety compared to national trends. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite local fluctuations, the area’s crime levels remain well below the UK average, a pattern consistent with its rural-urban hybrid character and lower population density.
