Willerby and Anlaby Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 19,866 residents, the 60 crimes reported in Willerby and Anlaby during November 2024 translate to a crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 people—60.5% below the UK average of 7.6. This figure places the area among the safest in the country, with the most common offences being violence and sexual offences (22 incidents, 36.7% of total), followed by other theft (10, 16.7%) and public order issues (8, 13.3%). The seasonal context of November—marked by darker evenings, Bonfire Night, and the Black Friday shopping surge—likely influenced the crime profile, though the area’s overall low rate suggests effective community engagement or environmental factors. Violence and sexual offences, while significant in number, remain 57% below the UK average, possibly reflecting a stable local population or robust policing strategies. Other theft and shoplifting, which saw a 100% increase from October, may correlate with the surge in retail activity, yet the area’s crime picture remains distinctly safer than national benchmarks. The low rates of property crimes (22 total, including burglary and vehicle crime) further highlight the area’s unique position, with burglary and vehicle crime both falling by 60% and 50% respectively from the previous month. These trends, combined with the area’s geographical characteristics as a built-up region within East Riding of Yorkshire, suggest a combination of local initiatives and seasonal dynamics shaping the crime profile.

November 2024 marked a stark contrast in crime trends, with three categories surging by 100% compared to October: other theft (5 to 10), shoplifting (2 to 4), and other crime (0 to 3). This spike in theft-related offences may reflect increased foot traffic during the Black Friday sales period, though the area’s overall crime rate remains well below the UK average. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 70% (10 to 3), likely due to the seasonal decline in outdoor activities as temperatures dropped. The breakdown also reveals that violence and sexual offences—accounting for 36.7% of all crimes—remain 57% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or low-risk demographics. A resident would find the 100% increase in other theft particularly relevant, as it indicates a need for heightened vigilance during high-traffic periods.

November 2024 saw a 26.9% decrease in the area’s crime rate compared to the previous month, falling from 4.1 to 3.0 per 1,000 residents. This reduction aligns with the seasonal slowdown in retail activity following the Black Friday peak, though the area’s overall crime rate remains exceptionally low. On a daily basis, the 60 reported crimes in November equate to roughly two incidents per day—far below the average for similar-sized built-up areas. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure figure of one crime per 331 residents underscores the rarity of incidents in Willerby and Anlaby. This is particularly notable given the area’s proximity to major transport routes and retail hubs, which typically correlate with higher crime rates. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that the area’s security measures or community dynamics may be effectively mitigating risks, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.
