Coningsby and Tattershall Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In September 2025, Coningsby and Tattershall recorded a crime rate of 7.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 2.7% above the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This slight increase, though not alarming in scale, underscores the combination of local and national crime trends. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (29.3% of total incidents), followed by burglary (17.2%) and vehicle crime (15.5%). These figures align with the area’s character as a built-up rural district, where property crimes often dominate due to lower population density and potentially greater vulnerability to targeted theft. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return of students and the start of the academic year—may have influenced patterns. Violence and sexual offences in the area remain 15% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may reflect the community’s emphasis on social cohesion and local policing. However, the sharp rise in vehicle crime and burglary contrasts with this, indicating potential gaps in security measures or increased opportunities for offenders. The breakdown shows that while the area is generally safer than the UK average in some categories, specific vulnerabilities—such as the 364% above UK average for burglary—require targeted attention. These findings suggest that while the overall crime rate is modest, certain categories demand closer scrutiny, particularly as seasonal transitions may influence criminal activity.

September 2025 saw a stark 200% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 3 to 9 incidents. This surge, though not unprecedented, may be linked to seasonal factors such as the return of students and increased traffic during the back-to-school period. Burglary also doubled, with 10 incidents reported compared to zero in August, a development that stands out as 364% above the UK average. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 57.1%, dropping from 14 to 6, marking one of the most significant decreases in the dataset. This decline, while welcome, contrasts with the sharp rise in property-related crimes, suggesting a shift in criminal activity from public spaces to private residences. The violence and sexual offences category, at 17 incidents, remained 15% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may reflect the area’s lower population density and community cohesion. These fluctuations highlight the need for targeted interventions in high-risk sectors like vehicle security and residential burglary prevention.

The crime rate in Coningsby and Tattershall rose by 28.9% in September 2025 compared to 5.9 per 1,000 in the previous month, reaching 7.6 per 1,000. This increase, though modest in absolute terms, reflects shifting patterns in local crime dynamics. Daily crime figures show 2 reported incidents per day on average, a statistic that contextualises the pace at which residents may encounter crime. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 131 residents, a figure that, when scaled to the area’s population of 7,608, highlights the relative frequency of incidents. While the overall rate remains close to the UK average, the sharp rise in specific categories like burglary and vehicle crime suggests localised pressures that may warrant closer attention. This monthly exposure figure, though not directly comparable to national averages, provides a tangible measure of how crime impacts daily life in the built-up area. The interplay between population density and crime hotspots—such as the increase in vehicle crime—may point to broader trends in rural-urban crime patterns.
