East Horsley Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

East Horsley’s June 2023 crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents marked a 15.6% increase from May. below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This modest rise contrasts sharply with the area’s broader safety profile, which continues to outperform national statistics. Violence and sexual offences were the most prevalent category, accounting for 26.7% of all crimes, yet they were 76% below the UK average. Public order offences followed at 20%, also significantly under the national rate. The low crime rate aligns with East Horsley’s likely status as a suburban or semi-rural area within Guildford, where population density and local infrastructure may limit opportunities for certain types of crime. Seasonal factors, such as the start of summer and longer daylight hours, may have influenced activity patterns, though the data does not show a direct correlation with increased crime. The area’s overall safety remains a defining characteristic, with residents experiencing far fewer incidents than the UK average. This context is critical for understanding local crime dynamics, as East Horsley’s low rate suggests a combination of geographic and demographic factors that contribute to its relative security. The breakdown of crime types also reveals a focus on non-violent, low-level incidents, which may reflect the area’s community-oriented environment and limited exposure to high-risk urban factors.

East Horsley’s crime rate in June 2023 rose by 15.6% compared to May’s 2.3 per 1,000, reaching 2.6 per 1,000. While this increase is modest, it reflects a slight uptick in specific categories.
