Quorndon Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

November 2023 marked a continuation of Quorndon's consistently low crime profile, with an overall rate of 4.4 crimes per 1,000 residents—41.3% below the UK average of 7.5. This built-up area within Charnwood, likely a small town or suburban enclave, saw property crimes (14) account for 58% of total incidents, followed by violent crimes (8) at 33%. The seasonal context of November—marked by dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping—may have influenced patterns, though the area's low overall rate suggests strong community resilience or effective local policing. Property crimes dominated, with burglary (4) and other theft (4) emerging as key concerns. Violent crimes, while lower than UK averages, included 8 incidents of violence and sexual offences, a category where Quorndon's rate (1.5 per 1,000) was 42% below the national average. The data also highlights a notable dip in shoplifting (down 50% from October) and anti-social behaviour (down 66.7%), possibly linked to seasonal changes in community activity or targeted interventions. While the area's low crime rate is a positive indicator, the sharp rise in other theft and burglary warrants closer examination of local risk factors, such as the presence of high-value retail or residential properties. The combination of low rates and specific spikes may reflect a combination of local demographics, economic conditions, and seasonal events, requiring further analysis to identify trends.

November 2023 saw a sharp 300% increase in other theft, rising from 1 to 4 incidents—a significant shift that may reflect heightened activity during Black Friday sales or increased opportunities in residential areas. Public order offences also doubled from 0 to 1, suggesting isolated incidents possibly tied to Bonfire Night or late-night gatherings. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by two-thirds (from 3 to 1), and shoplifting dropped 50% (from 2 to 1), indicating reduced foot traffic or more effective retail security measures. Quorndon's burglary rate (0.7 per 1,000) was 106% above the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), a stark contrast to its overall low crime profile. This discrepancy highlights the need for targeted strategies in residential areas, where burglary remains a persistent concern despite the area's general safety. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences (1.5 per 1,000) were 42% below the UK average, a trend consistent with Quorndon's historically lower levels of violent crime. Residents may find the 300% spike in other theft particularly noteworthy, as it underscores a specific vulnerability in property security that could benefit from community awareness campaigns or enhanced surveillance in high-risk zones.

Quorndon's crime rate in November 2023 (4.4 per 1,000) represented a 7.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.8 per 1,000, indicating a slight but measurable trend toward safety. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 1 crime per day over the 30-day period—a figure that, while low, may still raise concerns for residents in specific neighbourhoods. Monthly exposure data shows that over the course of November, 1 reported crime occurred for roughly every 226 residents, a statistic that contextualises the low frequency of incidents within the area's population of 5,412. This translates to a 1-in-226 chance of being directly affected by crime, a rate significantly lower than the UK average when scaled similarly. The population-scaled perspective reinforces Quorndon's status as a relatively safe built-up area, though the 106% increase in burglary compared to the UK average highlights a critical vulnerability. Residents may find it reassuring that the overall rate remains well below national levels, but the disproportionate rise in property-related crimes suggests a need for targeted measures in residential zones. The comparison to the previous month also reveals a subtle but consistent downward trend, which, if sustained, could signal broader improvements in local crime prevention efforts or shifting community dynamics influenced by seasonal factors.
