Broadbridge Heath Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile in Broadbridge Heath for June 2025, accounting for 40% of all reported incidents. This category, at 1.3 per 1,000 residents, sits 55% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. The area’s overall crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents is 58% lower than the national average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a generally low-crime environment. While anti-social behaviour and shoplifting each contributed 16% of total crimes, the sharp rise in violence and sexual offences—up 150% from May—suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. June, marking the start of summer, may contribute to this trend through increased social activity and longer daylight hours, though the area’s small population and compact built-up nature likely limit opportunities for more widespread crime. The relatively low rate of property crimes (44% of total) compared to violent crimes (56%) contrasts with typical urban patterns, hinting at a community structure where public spaces are closely monitored or where social cohesion reduces opportunities for theft. Seasonal factors, such as the onset of tourism in nearby rural or coastal areas, may also indirectly influence crime dynamics, though direct links remain speculative without further data.

June 2025 marked a significant 150% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 4 to 10 incidents—a stark contrast to the 33.3% decline in shoplifting, which fell from 6 to 4. This shift suggests a temporary realignment in criminal activity, possibly linked to seasonal changes or localized factors. Vehicle crime, which rose 100% to 4 incidents, and other theft, which doubled to 2 incidents, both exceeded UK averages by 35% and 41% respectively, highlighting specific vulnerabilities in transport infrastructure or personal security practices. Anti-social behaviour remained well below the UK average, with 0.5 per 1,000 residents compared to the national 1.4 per 1,000. Residents may find the 16% share of shoplifting incidents, now at 0.5 per 1,000, a useful indicator for local retailers to consider security measures. The absence of a significant rise in property crimes, despite the overall increase in violent incidents, underscores the area’s unique crime profile, where community engagement and geographic compactness may mitigate some risks.

Broadbridge Heath’s crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents in June 2025 represents a 46.9% increase from the previous month’s rate of 2.3 per 1,000. This rise, though notable, remains 58% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, emphasizing the area’s continued safety relative to national trends. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 1 crime per day in June—a figure that, while seemingly low, reflects the small population of 7,463 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 299 residents, a metric that contextualizes the scale of incidents within the community. This monthly exposure rate is particularly meaningful for residents, as it illustrates the low likelihood of personal involvement in crime. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the area’s resilience: despite the 150% increase in violence and sexual offences, the absolute number of such incidents (10) remains far below the UK average of 23 per 1,000. The combination of low population density, limited urban sprawl, and possibly strong local policing efforts likely contributes to these figures, though further analysis would be required to confirm such factors.
