Woburn Sands Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Woburn Sands, a built-up area within Milton Keynes, recorded a crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents in September 2025, placing it 70.3% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s relative safety compared to national trends, though the data reveals a notable anomaly in the category of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 38.5% of all reported crimes. These offences, at 0.8 per 1,000 residents, were 69% below the UK average for the same category, suggesting that local factors may suppress such incidents despite the month’s seasonal dynamics. The second most common crime was burglary, which rose to 0.3 per 1,000 residents—7% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This slight divergence from national trends may reflect localized vulnerabilities, such as the area’s mix of residential and commercial properties. Meanwhile, public order offences and criminal damage both fell significantly below UK averages, aligning with the broader pattern of low crime. September’s back-to-school and university freshers period may have influenced activity levels, though the overall crime rate remains exceptionally low. The data suggests that Woburn Sands’ compact, low-density character and strong community engagement may contribute to its consistently low crime profile, even as specific categories show deviations from national norms.

Woburn Sands’ September 2025 crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents marks a 61.7% increase from the previous month’s rate of 1.3 per 1,000.

Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 464 residents, a figure that emphasizes the area’s low crime density despite the month-on-month surge. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of 0 crimes per day, a local figure that contrasts with the UK’s higher daily rates but aligns with Woburn Sands’ small population of 6,035. When scaled to the area’s demographic profile, the crime rate appears even more subdued: for every 1,000 residents, only 2.2 crimes were recorded, compared to the UK’s 7.4. This disparity underscores the area’s unique characteristics, likely shaped by its proximity to Milton Keynes’ broader infrastructure while maintaining a distinct, low-density residential character. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that even with the month’s increases, the risk to individuals remains markedly lower than in most UK regions. Such metrics are critical for residents assessing safety, as they highlight both the area’s resilience and the localized factors driving recent fluctuations.
