Headley Down and Headley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 saw Headley Down and Headley maintain a crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents, 63% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This continued underperformance relative to national figures underscores the area’s generally low crime profile, though the month revealed a troubling spike in burglary. Violent crimes accounted for 64.7% of all reported incidents, with 11 cases recorded, while burglary (4 cases) and other theft (2 cases) formed the remaining 35.3%. The dominance of violent offences is consistent with the area’s character as a built-up zone within East Hampshire, where localised tensions and social dynamics may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. However, the surge in burglary—doubling from May’s 2 to 4 incidents—raises concerns, particularly as this figure is 150% above the UK average for burglary. Seasonal factors, such as the start of summer and the potential influx of tourists, may have played a role in this shift. The overall crime rate, while low, highlights the need for continued vigilance, particularly in residential areas where burglars may exploit increased outdoor activity and longer daylight hours. The contrast between the area’s violent crime rates (30% below the UK average) and its burglary rates (150% above) illustrates the complexity of local crime patterns, which are shaped by both geographic and demographic factors. As the summer progresses, monitoring these trends will be crucial for maintaining the area’s safety record.

Burglary rates in Headley Down and Headley surged by 100% in June 2025, jumping from 2 to 4 incidents. This increase contrasts with a 50% decline in other theft, which dropped from 4 to 2. The area’s violent crime rate remains 30% below the UK average at 2.0 per 1,000, but burglary stands out as 150% above the UK average at 0.7 per 1,000. This divergence highlights a shift in criminal focus, with property crimes becoming more prominent than the usual dominance of violent offences. Residents should be particularly vigilant around homes, as the spike in burglary may indicate targeted activity, possibly linked to seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic or longer daylight hours. The contrast between burglary and other theft trends suggests that while some crime types are receding, others are intensifying, requiring a nuanced approach to local safety.

Headley Down and Headley recorded a crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents in June 2025, a 19.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.7 per 1,000. This decline reflects a continuing trend of reduced criminal activity in the area, though the monthly exposure figure highlights that over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 330 residents. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime per day, a localised measure that does not directly compare to national averages. When scaled to the population of 5,609, the crime rate remains significantly below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This suggests that while the area is not immune to crime, its residents experience far lower exposure than the national average. The drop in overall crime rate aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as the start of summer often sees shifts in criminal activity, though the spike in burglary this month complicates this trend.
