Ewell Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ewell's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 6.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 30.2% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This performance reflects a consistent trend of lower-than-average violent crime, with violence and sexual offences (31.4% of all crimes) and anti-social behaviour (18.9%) dominating the crime profile. These figures align with the area's character as a largely residential built-up area within Epsom and Ewell, where community-focused policing and limited nightlife activity may contribute to the reduced violent crime levels. Seasonal factors in July — including the summer holidays, open-air festivals, and increased tourism — typically correlate with higher property crime rates, yet Ewell's vehicle crime rate (10.0% of total) remained lower than the UK average (0.4 per 1,000). This discrepancy may partly reflect the area's limited retail and commercial zones, which reduce opportunities for vehicle-related crime. The overall crime mix shows a balanced distribution between property (55.5%) and violent (44.5%) offences, with no single category dominating the statistics. The data suggests that Ewell's crime picture is shaped by its suburban environment, where open spaces and lower population density may contribute to both the reduced violent crime rates and the relatively stable property crime figures compared to more densely populated urban areas.

July 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories. Burglary increased by 200% (from 2 to 6 incidents), marking the most significant month-on-month rise. This spike may reflect increased unoccupied properties during the summer holidays, though the overall burglary rate (0.2 per 1,000) remains 26% below the UK average (0.3 per 1,000). Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 34.5% (from 29 to 19 incidents), a decline consistent with lower traffic volumes during the summer break. Public order offences also decreased by 23.8% (from 21 to 16), possibly linked to fewer alcohol-related incidents during the warmer weather. Violence and sexual offences — the most common category (31.4% of all crimes) — remained 38% below the UK average (3.0 per 1,000), reinforcing Ewell's status as a safer area for residents. The sharp increase in bicycle theft (100% from 0 to 1 incident) and theft from the person (100% from 0 to 2) highlights the need for vigilance in outdoor public spaces, particularly during festivals and events. Meanwhile, robbery decreased by 50% (from 2 to 1), a trend that may reflect improved lighting in key areas or increased community awareness during the summer months.

Ewell's crime rate rose by 9.2% from 5.5 per 1,000 in June 2025 to 6.0 per 1,000 in July 2025. This increase, while statistically significant, still places the area well below the UK average. On a daily basis, Ewell recorded approximately 6 crimes per day in July, a figure that translates to one reported crime for roughly every 168 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which typically sees one crime for every 116 residents. When considering the population context, Ewell's 32,087 residents experienced a total of 191 crimes in July, equating to a crime rate that is 30.2% below the national benchmark. This comparison underscores the area's effectiveness in maintaining public safety, despite the seasonal factors that typically drive up crime in other regions. The slight increase from June may be attributed to the summer holidays, which often correlate with higher levels of transient populations and associated criminal activity. However, Ewell's performance remains robust compared to the UK average, suggesting that local policing strategies and community engagement initiatives are likely contributing to the area's continued safety record.
