Quorndon Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

October 2025 presented an unexpected shift in Quorndon's crime profile, with 'other crime' and vehicle crime both doubling from zero to three and four respectively. This marks the most significant monthly fluctuation in the built-up area's crime profile, contrasting with the area's generally low crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents—42.9% below the UK average of 7.7. The rise in these categories, though small in absolute terms, suggests potential changes in local patterns that warrant closer attention. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 41.7% of all incidents.9 per 1,000 is 29% below the UK average. This discrepancy highlights Quorndon's consistent performance in reducing violent crime compared to national trends. The seasonal context of October—darker evenings, Halloween, and the clocks going back—may have contributed to increased visibility of certain crimes. Vehicle crime, which rose to 0.7 per 1,000, is 67% above the UK average of 0.4, a figure that could be explained by Quorndon's built-up nature and potential parking vulnerabilities. The overall crime mix shifted significantly, with property crimes falling to 25% of total incidents compared to 41.7% for violent crimes, a reversal from previous months. This balance reflects broader national trends where violent crime rates have outpaced property crime in recent years. The low but notable increase in 'other crime' incidents—now 0.6 per 1,000—suggests the need for clearer categorisation of unclassified offences, as this category is 253% above the UK average of 0.2. The area's performance in anti-social behaviour (52% below UK average) and burglary (33% below) reinforces its status as a relatively safe built-up area. However, the October data indicates that while Quorndon remains below national averages in most categories, specific vulnerabilities such as vehicle crime and unclassified offences require targeted attention.

The most striking development in October was the doubling of 'other crime' incidents, rising from zero to three, a 100% increase. This category, which includes unclassified offences, saw an unexpected surge despite no prior history of such reports in Quorndon. Concurrently, vehicle crime also doubled from zero to four, a 100% jump that contrasts with the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, where Quorndon's rate of 0.7 per 1,000 is 67% higher. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences rose by 25% to 10 incidents, though this remains 29% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. The breakdown reveals a shifting crime mix, with property crimes accounting for only 25% of total incidents compared to 41.7% for violent crimes, a reversal of the previous month's balance. Residents may find the 0.7 per 1,000 vehicle crime rate particularly noteworthy, as it suggests increased vulnerability in this category compared to national norms.

Quorndon's crime rate in October 2025 rose 8.8% from 4.1 to 4.4 per 1,000 residents compared to September, marking the first monthly increase in the past six months. On a daily basis, this translates to roughly one crime reported per day across the built-up area, a figure that aligns with the area's generally low crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 226 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. This monthly exposure rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, which sees approximately one crime for every 130 residents. The population-scaled perspective highlights Quorndon's consistent performance as a safer area compared to national benchmarks, though the upward trend in October suggests potential shifts in local dynamics that warrant ongoing monitoring.
