Ealing Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ealing’s crime profile in November 2025 reveals a distinct mix of offences that reflect the area’s urban character and seasonal dynamics. Anti-social behaviour dominates the crime mix, accounting for 25.0% of all reported incidents, followed closely by violence and sexual offences (24.8%) and vehicle crime (9.9%). This balance suggests a combination of public space challenges and persistent issues in domestic and community settings. The overall crime rate of 9.5 per 1,000 residents places Ealing 30.1% above the UK average of 7.3, underscoring a need for targeted interventions. Seasonal factors may play a role: the month includes Bonfire Night, which could contribute to spikes in anti-social behaviour, and the Black Friday shopping period, which may influence retail-related crimes. However, vehicle crime remains elevated, linked to the borough’s dense road networks and commuter traffic. The high prevalence of anti-social behaviour, 126% above the UK average, indicates a persistent challenge in managing public order in areas with high foot traffic or transient populations. This pattern is consistent with Ealing’s status as a large, diverse urban district with a mix of residential, commercial, and leisure spaces.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends, with burglary rising by 18.5% (173 to 205) and drugs offences increasing by 15.8% (209 to 242), suggesting potential pressures on local support systems. Conversely, bicycle theft fell by 21.2% (33 to 26), possibly reflecting seasonal changes in cycling activity or improved security measures. The violent crime category, which includes violence and sexual offences, remained slightly below the UK average (7% below), but its share of total crimes (24.8%) highlights the ongoing need for community safety initiatives. Anti-social behaviour, at 25.0% of all crimes, continues to outpace the UK average by 126%, pointing to localized challenges in public space management. A resident might find the 18.5% rise in burglary particularly concerning, as it indicates a growing risk to property security in neighbourhoods with high turnover or vulnerable housing stock. Meanwhile, the 25% drop in 'other crime' could signal improved reporting accuracy or a temporary reduction in minor incidents. These fluctuations illustrate the combination of factors influencing Ealing’s crime profile, from seasonal events to broader socioeconomic trends.

Ealing’s crime rate in November 2025 (9.5 per 1,000) represents a 6.8% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 10.2 per 1,000, indicating a modest but measurable improvement in overall safety. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 122 crimes per day, a figure that contextualizes the pace of incidents within the borough’s population of 385,985. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 105 residents, a monthly aggregate that provides a snapshot of the area’s exposure to crime. While this rate is higher than the UK average, the comparison highlights Ealing’s unique challenges, particularly in managing anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime. The 6.8% reduction from October may be linked to seasonal factors, such as the end of the festive shopping period or changes in public activity patterns. However, the persistence of elevated rates in specific categories, like burglary and drugs offences, suggests that underlying issues require sustained attention. For residents, this data underscores the importance of community vigilance and the need for targeted policing strategies to address the most pressing local concerns.
