Horden Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Horden’s November 2025 crime rate of 14.2 per 1,000 residents — 94.5% above the UK average of 7.3 — highlights a starkly elevated profile compared to national benchmarks. The most striking outlier is the 41 incidents of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 39.8% of all crimes and were 122% above the UK average. This category alone, at 5.7 per 1,000, suggests a significant local challenge that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as darker evenings and the proximity of Bonfire Night, which can heighten tensions or attract transient populations. Burglary, at 1.9 per 1,000, was also 533% above the UK average, reflecting a sharp spike from 3 to 14 incidents. This may be linked to the built-up nature of Horden, where property density could increase vulnerability to targeted crimes. Shoplifting and criminal damage also rose sharply, with the latter at 1.8 per 1,000 — 240% above the UK average — tied to Black Friday shopping activity. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour and public order offences saw modest declines, which may indicate local interventions or seasonal lulls. The overall crime mix remains heavily skewed towards property and violent crimes, with property offences making up 63.9% of all incidents. This contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically constitute a smaller share. The built-up character of Horden, combined with its proximity to urban centres and seasonal rhythms, likely contributes to this pattern. While the area’s crime rate is higher than national averages, the month-on-month changes suggest that certain categories are experiencing rapid shifts, warranting ongoing scrutiny.

November 2025 saw dramatic increases in certain crime types, with burglary rising by 366.7% (from 3 to 14 incidents) and shoplifting surging by 160% (from 5 to 13). These spikes may partly explain Horden’s overall rate being 94.5% above the UK average. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 39.8% of all crimes, were 122% above the UK average, a figure that stands out as one of the most significant disparities. Meanwhile, vehicle crime dropped by 60% (from 5 to 2), and anti-social behaviour fell by 33.3% (from 6 to 4), suggesting some areas of local policing or community action may have had an impact. For residents, the sharp rise in burglary — now 1.9 per 1,000 — is a concrete data point that may influence household security measures.

Horden’s crime rate in November 2025 rose to 14.2 per 1,000 residents, a 15.7% increase from the previous month’s rate of 12.3. This marks a continued upward trend, though the area’s overall rate remains starkly higher than the UK average. Locally, 103 crimes were recorded over the month — roughly 3 crimes per day — a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in this built-up area. On a monthly basis, one reported crime occurred for every 70 residents, a statistic that may help contextualise the scale of incidents for local residents. While some categories, such as vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour, saw reductions, the overall picture remains one of elevated risk. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Horden’s crime burden is high compared to national benchmarks, though local factors such as seasonal activity and community dynamics may contribute to this disparity.
