Ewell Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Ewell, 7.1 crimes were recorded in September 2025 — 4.1% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This rate translates to one reported crime for every 141 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 30.4% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.9%) and vehicle crime (11.9%). These patterns may partly reflect seasonal dynamics, as September marks the return to school and university term time, which can influence both community interactions and crime hotspots. Violence and sexual offences in Ewell (2.2 per 1,000) are 15% below the UK average, suggesting a relative safety in this category. However, vehicle crime (0.8 per 1,000) is 100% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, a disparity that could stem from the area’s infrastructure, such as commuter parking zones or high-traffic roads. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.3 per 1,000, is 11% above the UK average, linked to the social dynamics of a built-up area with a mix of residential and commercial spaces. These figures illustrate how local factors, even within a relatively low-crime region, can shape distinct crime profiles.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends, with anti-social behaviour increasing by 48.3% (29 to 43 incidents) — a rise that may reflect the social pressures of new academic terms. Drug-related offences surged by 133.3% (3 to 7), a jump that could indicate seasonal patterns tied to university freshers’ events or broader societal trends. Conversely, bicycle theft fell by 50.0% (2 to 1), due to increased awareness campaigns or the start of the academic year deterring such crimes. The balance between property and violent crimes also shifted, with violent offences (69) accounting for 30.4% of total crimes, compared to property crimes (81) making up 35.7%. This mix suggests that while property-related issues remain prevalent, the proportion of violent crimes has decreased slightly from previous months. Vehicle crime, at 0.8 per 1,000, is 100% above the UK average, a stark contrast to other categories like shoplifting (0.5 per 1,000), which is 18% below the UK average. For residents, the most immediate insight is the significant rise in anti-social behaviour, which may impact local community cohesion and safety perceptions.

Ewell’s crime rate in September 2025 rose slightly from 6.9 per 1,000 in August to 7.1 per 1,000, a 2.6% increase. This monthly change, though modest, highlights the fluctuating nature of crime even in areas with generally stable rates. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 8 crimes per day — a figure that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the continuous presence of criminal activity in local life. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 141 residents, a ratio that provides a tangible sense of risk for those living in Ewell. With a population of 32,087, this translates to a relatively low probability of personal involvement in a crime, though the distribution across categories remains uneven. The 4.1% gap between Ewell’s rate and the UK average suggests that the area is slightly safer overall, but specific crime types — such as vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour — deviate significantly from national trends. These disparities highlight the importance of localised crime analysis, as factors like infrastructure, demographics, and seasonal events can create unique risk profiles even within a broader context of national averages.
