Elworth Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Elworth’s crime rate for April 2024 was 1.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 84.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure highlights the area’s consistently low crime profile, though the breakdown of offences reveals a combination of factors. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 54.6% of all reported crimes (6 cases), followed by other theft (18.2%, 2 cases) and anti-social behaviour (9.1%, 1 case). The predominance of violent crime, despite its relatively low absolute numbers, may be tied to the area’s built-up nature and potential for isolated incidents in semi-rural settings. Seasonal factors in April — such as the Easter period and increased outdoor activity during spring — may have influenced crime patterns, though the sharp decline in violent offences suggests other variables at play. The UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000) is 73% higher than Elworth’s rate, illustrating the area’s success in maintaining safety relative to national trends. Other theft, meanwhile, remains 64% below the UK average (0.6 per 1,000), pointing to effective community policing or low economic pressures in the area. The presence of anti-social behaviour and drug-related offences, though minor, indicates that localised issues persist despite the overall low crime rate. This data underscores the importance of continued monitoring, particularly as seasonal shifts and demographic changes could alter crime dynamics in the coming months.

April 2024 saw a marked shift in Elworth’s crime mix, with a 73.9% drop in violence and sexual offences — from 23 cases in March to 6 in April. This decline, though significant, contrasts with increases in other crime (+100%) and other theft (+100%), suggesting a possible reallocation of criminal activity or reporting patterns. Violence and sexual offences in Elworth remain 73% below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), while other theft is 64% below the national figure (0.6 per 1,000). The category of 'other crime' — which includes minor infractions — rose to 1 case in April, a stark increase from zero in March. This anomaly may reflect heightened awareness or seasonal factors, though no definitive link can be drawn without further data. For residents, the drop in violent crime is a tangible benefit, with the area’s rate of 0.7 per 1,000 for violence and sexual offences being lower than the UK average.

Elworth’s crime rate in April 2024 stood at 1.2 per 1,000 residents, marking a 68.6% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.9 per 1,000. This sustained decline aligns with broader trends observed in the area, though the drop in violent crime was particularly pronounced. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day in April, reflecting a stark contrast to the typical monthly exposure of 1 crime per 812 residents. When scaled to the local population of 8,931, this means that over the course of the month, only one in every 812 residents experienced a reported crime — a figure that underscores the area’s relatively low crime profile compared to national averages. The low daily crime count may be attributed to the area’s compact built-up nature, which likely facilitates quicker police response times and community vigilance. However, the absence of specific data on local policing efforts means any connection remains speculative.
