Quorndon Crime Rate January 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Quorndon's crime profile in January 2024 reveals a strikingly low overall rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents, a figure 41.9% below the UK average. This disparity underscores the area's unique characteristics, which likely include a combination of effective policing, community cohesion, and environmental factors that mitigate criminal activity. The breakdown of crime types highlights a significant dominance of violent and sexual offences, which account for 60.9% of the total 23 reported incidents. This overrepresentation of violent crime contrasts with the UK average, where such offences make up 2.6 per 1,000—exactly matching Quorndon's rate. The seasonal context of January, a post-holiday period marked by shorter days and reduced retail footfall, may contribute to this imbalance, as outdoor crimes typically decline while interpersonal conflicts persist. Property crimes, though lower in absolute numbers, remain a concern: burglary and vehicle crime are 67% and 20% above UK averages, respectively. Bicycle theft, however, is an outlier, with a rate 567% above the national average, suggesting local vulnerabilities in infrastructure or security measures for cyclists. This mix of crime types illustrates a combination of the area's built environment, demographic trends, and seasonal factors, offering a nuanced picture of safety that diverges from the UK's broader trends.

January 2024 saw a 40% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 10 to 14 incidents, a shift that elevates violent crime to 60.9% of the total reported crimes. This rise, though not uncommon during post-holiday periods, contrasts with a 40% decrease in vehicle crime, which fell from five to three incidents. The most striking anomaly is bicycle theft, which surged by 100% from zero to two incidents—a figure 567% above the UK average. This spike may reflect increased cycling during colder months or local infrastructure challenges. Conversely, burglary remains below the UK average, with only three incidents reported compared to the national rate of 0.4 per 1,000. Residents should be particularly vigilant regarding bicycle theft, a category where local rates are high, even as overall crime trends indicate a safer environment compared to the UK. The balance between violent and property crimes also reveals a shift in criminal activity patterns, with violent offences dominating the landscape this month.

Quorndon's January 2024 crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents marks a 34.3% decrease from December's 6.5 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained decline in reported incidents. This reduction aligns with the area's consistently low crime profile compared to the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported incident per day in January, a figure that, while low, underscores the importance of vigilance during periods of heightened activity. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 235 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the relatively sparse nature of criminal activity in this built-up area. When compared to the UK's broader context, Quorndon's 41.9% below-average rate suggests a combination of effective local policing, community engagement, and environmental factors that deter crime. These figures, when contextualised against the area's population of 5,412, indicate that the likelihood of experiencing a crime remains significantly lower than the national average, though residents should remain aware of specific vulnerabilities, such as bicycle theft, which is 567% above the UK average.
