Coningsby and Tattershall Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coningsby and Tattershall’s crime rate in August 2025 stood at 5.9 per 1,000, placing it 27.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This marked deviation from national trends underscores the area’s unique characteristics, likely shaped by its status as a built-up area within East Lindsey’s rural landscape. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.8% of total incidents, with a rate of 2.2 per 1,000—23% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed at 31.1%.8 per 1,000 was 23% higher than the UK’s 1.5 per 1,000. The low incidence of shoplifting—just one reported case, 0.1 per 1,000—was 84% below the UK average, a stark contrast to national patterns. Seasonal factors may have played a role, as August is typically a peak holiday month, which could influence tourism and property occupancy. However, the area’s low crime rate, despite these seasonal dynamics, suggests a combination of geographic isolation, limited urban density, and community-focused policing strategies. The data also reveals a shift in the crime mix, with property-related offences comprising 26.7% of total incidents (12 cases), compared to 37.8% for violent crimes. This balance may reflect the area’s built-up nature, where residential and commercial spaces coexist, increasing exposure to both property and personal crimes. The absence of significant spikes in burglary or theft from the person—categories often associated with tourist areas—further supports the hypothesis that local factors, such as low population density and strong community ties, contribute to the area’s comparatively safe environment. While the month-on-month decline in violent crime may be linked to seasonal transitions or local initiatives, the overall trajectory of Coningsby and Tattershall’s crime data highlights a consistent trend of maintaining rates well below national benchmarks, even during periods of heightened activity.

August 2025 saw a 50.0% increase in vehicle crime, rising from two to three incidents, and a 25.0% rise in criminal damage and arson, with cases increasing from four to five. These shifts contrast with a 50.0% drop in other theft, which fell from six to three, and a 26.1% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which dropped from 23 to 17. Anti-social behaviour remained 23% above the UK average, with 14 incidents reported—double the national rate of 1.5 per 1,000. The area’s shoplifting rate was 84% below the UK average, with just one incident recorded, compared to the national average of six per 1,000. For residents, the daily crime count of one per day offers a concrete benchmark for understanding local safety trends, though the overall decline in violent crime suggests a potential shift in community dynamics or seasonal influences.

The crime rate for August 2025 fell by 23.7% compared to the previous month’s rate of 7.8 per 1,000, reflecting a notable decline in overall criminal activity. This reduction aligns with the area’s generally low crime profile, which has consistently positioned Coningsby and Tattershall below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day during August, a figure that underscores the relatively sparse nature of criminal incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the local population of 7,608, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime occurring for every 169 residents, a statistic that highlights the area’s comparative safety. This figure, when considered in the context of the broader East Lindsey region, suggests that local factors—such as community cohesion and lower population density—may contribute to the sustained reduction in crime. The monthly exposure metric, while not directly comparable to UK-wide figures, provides residents with a tangible understanding of the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives.
