Quorndon Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In August 2025, Quorndon's crime rate of 5.5 per 1,000 residents placed it 32.1% below the UK average, a figure that underscores the area's relative safety despite seasonal challenges. The crime profile revealed a distinct mix, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 36.7% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (23.3%) and public order offences (10.0%). This distribution suggests that interpersonal conflicts and disruptive behaviour remain central concerns, even as the area maintains a lower-than-average rate for property crimes. The seasonal context of August — a peak holiday month — likely plays a role in shaping these patterns. Tourism may drive increases in shoplifting and anti-social behaviour, while the temporary absence of residents during school holidays could leave homes vulnerable to burglary. However, Quorndon's rate for violence and sexual offences (2.0 per 1,000) was 30% below the UK average, indicating effective local measures or demographic factors that temper risks in this category. The relatively low rate of burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and other theft (0.2 per 1,000) further highlights the area's resilience, though the 54% above UK average for vehicle crime (0.6 per 1,000) signals a potential vulnerability requiring closer attention. This data illustrates a community navigating seasonal pressures while maintaining a strong safety record overall, with the challenge of addressing specific risks like vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour emerging as priorities for local authorities.

August 2025 witnessed a 133.3% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 3 to 7 incidents — the most significant jump in any category. This surge aligns with the month's role as a peak holiday period, when transient populations and increased social activity may strain local resources. Meanwhile, shoplifting doubled from one to two incidents, a trend consistent with summer tourism patterns that often see higher retail footfall. Conversely, public order offences fell by 40.0% (from 5 to 3), possibly reflecting a reduction in late-night gatherings as schools resumed. Quorndon's violence and sexual offences rate (2.0 per 1,000) was 30% below the UK average, suggesting that local initiatives or community dynamics may be mitigating risks in this category. The 54% above UK average for vehicle crime (0.6 per 1,000) raises questions about local infrastructure vulnerabilities, though further analysis would be needed to confirm patterns.

Quorndon's crime rate in August 2025 rose 7.2% compared to the previous month, climbing from 5.2 to 5.5 per 1,000 residents. This translates to roughly one reported crime every 180 residents over the course of the month — a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. Daily, the area saw approximately one crime per day, a rate that, while low, reflects the small population of 5,412. This monthly exposure metric provides a tangible sense of probability: for a resident, the chance of encountering a crime in Quorndon during August was roughly 1 in 180. The rate remains significantly below the UK average, but the upward trend suggests a need for continued monitoring. While the daily figure is a local measure, the monthly exposure ratio offers a clearer picture of how crime permeates daily life in a small built-up area. This context is critical for understanding both the relative safety of Quorndon and the implications of the month-on-month shift.
