Willerby and Anlaby Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Willerby and Anlaby’s crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000 residents in November 2025 highlights a stark contrast to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, with the area recording 46.6% fewer crimes overall. For a population of 19,866, this equates to 77 reported crimes — a figure that, while non-trivial, reflects the area’s relatively low exposure to criminal activity. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences dominated the landscape, accounting for 29 incidents (37.7% of total crimes), followed by other theft and shoplifting, each contributing 11.7%. These patterns may be influenced by local factors, such as the area’s built-up nature and the presence of community spaces that could both attract and deter certain types of crime. Seasonal context plays a role too: November’s dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night may contribute to higher violent crime rates, though the overall figure remains well below the UK average. The lower-than-expected rates for property crimes, particularly burglary (1 incident, 1.3% of total), could indicate effective community policing or a lack of high-value targets in the area. However, the rise in drug-related crimes — from zero to one incident — suggests a need for continued monitoring of emerging trends.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with three categories experiencing 100% increases compared to October. Other crime, criminal damage and arson, and drugs all rose from zero or lower counts, while burglary, anti-social behaviour, and other theft decreased. This mix of changes suggests a fluctuation in criminal activity that may align with seasonal factors — such as the dark evenings of November or the timing of events like Bonfire Night. The violent crime category, which contributed 37.7% of total crimes, remained 42% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This disparity is significant, particularly when compared to the UK’s higher rates for similar offences. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 28.6%, potentially reflecting increased community engagement or enforcement during the month. For residents, the 100% increase in drug-related crimes may raise concerns, though the absolute number remains low at one incident.

In November 2025, Willerby and Anlaby recorded 77 crimes across 19,866 residents, translating to 3 crimes reported per day on average. This daily rate is lower than the UK-wide average, though direct comparisons are not available for daily figures. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 258 residents — a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the population. This monthly exposure rate is particularly low compared to the UK average, which is not provided for this metric. The area’s crime rate (3.9 per 1,000) reflects a 2.6% increase from October’s 3.8 per 1,000, but remains 46.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This contrast underscores the area’s relative safety, even as small fluctuations occur. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, for every 1,000 residents, Willerby and Anlaby experience fewer than half the crimes compared to the UK as a whole, suggesting a combination of local factors — such as community engagement or infrastructure — that may contribute to this trend.
