Quorndon Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Quorndon's overall crime rate in June 2023 stood at 7.6 per 1,000 residents, placing the built-up area 10.6% below the UK average of 8.5. This performance highlights a consistent trend of lower-than-average violent crime, with violence and sexual offences at 2.4 per 1,000 (18% below the UK average). The crime profile was dominated by property-related incidents, which accounted for 53.7% of all reported crimes (22 out of 41), primarily driven by vehicle crime (9 incidents, 22% of total) and burglary (5 incidents, 12.2%). The area's violent crime rate, at 13 incidents (31.7% of total), was lower than the UK average for this category. Seasonal factors may have influenced these patterns, as June marks the beginning of summer, a period often associated with increased foot traffic in local amenities and the start of tourism in nearby rural areas. However, the sharp rise in vehicle crime compared to the UK average suggests local challenges, potentially linked to Quorndon's built-up nature and commuter activity. The breakdown shows a balanced mix of property and violent crime, with no single category dominating excessively. This equilibrium may reflect the area's character as a mixed-use neighbourhood where residential and commercial zones intersect, creating a dynamic but manageable crime environment. The data also indicates that anti-social behaviour and public order offences were 59% and 10% below the UK average, respectively, which could be attributed to local community engagement or effective policing strategies. These findings illustrate a nuanced picture of Quorndon's crime profile, where some categories align with broader national trends while others diverge significantly.

June 2023 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with three categories experiencing significant increases. Other theft surged by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents), burglary rose by 150% (from 2 to 5), and vehicle crime climbed by 125% (from 4 to 9). These jumps may reflect heightened activity in local retail areas or changes in vehicle security practices. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 33.3%, from 3 to 2 incidents, potentially linked to seasonal factors or increased community vigilance. Violence and sexual offences remained below the UK average, with a rate of 2.4 per 1,000 (18% lower than the UK's 2.9), suggesting local initiatives or environmental factors may be contributing to this trend. The area's vehicle crime rate—1.7 per 1,000—was 262% above the UK average of 0.5, a stark contrast that may relate to Quorndon's built-up character and potential traffic congestion. Residents may find the 18% reduction in violence and sexual offences particularly reassuring, as it aligns with broader trends in local safety efforts.

Quorndon's crime rate in June 2023 rose by 64.1% compared to the previous month, climbing from 4.6 to 7.6 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though significant, still places the area 10.6% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that may reflect local patterns rather than an immediate spike in activity. Monthly exposure data shows that over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 132 residents, a statistic that contextualises the frequency of incidents within the population. This rate, while higher than May, remains lower than the UK average when scaled to Quorndon's population of 5,412. The shift from May to June likely reflects seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic in local amenities or changes in community activity as summer begins. However, the absence of a UK-wide daily crime comparison means the local context remains the primary lens for understanding these figures.
