Ealing Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2024, Ealing recorded a crime rate of 9.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 19.5% above the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This translates to a per-capita risk that, while not extreme, reflects the pressures of a densely populated urban district with a mix of residential, commercial, and transport hubs. The most prevalent crime type was anti-social behaviour, accounting for 27.8% of all incidents (1,047 cases), a rate 93% above the UK average. This may be consistent with the area's character as a major London borough with a diverse population and high public space usage, where disputes and noise complaints are more likely to escalate. Violence and sexual offences followed, making up 25.2% of crimes (951 cases), a rate 9% below the UK average—a divergence that could reflect local policing strategies or demographic factors. Seasonal context adds nuance: as summer begins, the longest days and increased tourism may influence patterns, though Ealing's inland location means the impact differs from coastal areas. Vehicle crime, at 0.9 per 1,000 (364 cases), was 100% above the UK average, linked to the borough's extensive transport networks and parking infrastructure. These figures illustrate a crime profile shaped by urban density, seasonal rhythms, and local infrastructure, offering a snapshot of how everyday life and environment intersect with risk.

June 2024 saw significant month-on-month increases in three categories: other theft rose by 30.0% (243 to 316), bicycle theft climbed 27.5% (40 to 51), and theft from the person increased by 27.3% (99 to 126). These shifts suggest heightened vulnerability in specific contexts—such as increased bicycle theft, which may align with summer cycling trends or seasonal mobility patterns. Conversely, other crime fell by 31.1% (45 to 31), and public order offences dropped 12.6% (199 to 174), potentially reflecting the impact of warmer weather on public space dynamics. Anti-social behaviour in Ealing was 93% above the UK average, with 2.7 per 1,000 residents affected, while vehicle crime was 100% above the UK rate (0.9 vs 0.5 per 1,000). These disparities highlight areas where local conditions—such as high foot traffic in retail zones or transport hubs—may amplify certain risks compared to the national profile.

Ealing's crime rate in June 2024 rose to 9.8 per 1,000 residents, a 6.2% increase from 9.2 per 1,000 in May. This translates to roughly 126 crimes reported daily, a figure that captures both the pace and density of incidents in a densely populated urban district. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 102 residents—a statistic that underscores the frequency of incidents in a community where public spaces and transport hubs remain heavily used. While the overall rate remains above the UK average, the distribution of crime types reveals distinct patterns: anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime are elevated compared to national benchmarks, while some categories like burglary align closely with UK norms. This contrast highlights the unique pressures of urban living in Ealing, where high population density and transport networks may contribute to certain crime trends.
