Fremington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 saw Fremington maintain an exceptionally low crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 76.7% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (33.3% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour and burglary (22.2% each). This stark contrast to national trends reflects the area’s character as a relatively small built-up zone within North Devon, where limited nightlife and sparse commercial density likely reduce opportunities for certain crimes. Seasonal factors such as the transition to shorter evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night may have influenced patterns, though the absence of major public events during this period suggests other dynamics at play. The overall crime rate remains consistently low, with property crimes accounting for only 22% of the total, compared to 33% nationally. The area’s proximity to rural landscapes and its role as a commuter hub for nearby towns may contribute to this profile, with fewer high-footfall retail zones to drive shoplifting or public order offences. While the low rate is consistent with Fremington’s historical data, the November figures highlight a continued divergence from UK averages, particularly in violent crime categories where local rates are 77% below the national benchmark. This suggests a combination of effective local policing, community cohesion, and geographic factors that limit exposure to high-risk environments.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift occurred in violence and sexual offences, which fell by 75% from 12 to 3, marking the largest single-category decline in the dataset. This reduction aligns with the UK average for this category (2.6 per 1,000) and suggests a significant local improvement in addressing violent crime. Conversely, burglary and drugs-related offences both surged by 100% compared to October, with each category doubling from one to two incidents. While burglary remains below the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), the local rate of 0.4 per 1,000 indicates a 33% increase relative to national benchmarks. This uptick may be linked to seasonal factors such as Black Friday shopping, which could have created temporary vulnerabilities in household security. The drugs category, which is 48% above the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), highlights a persistent local challenge that deserves closer attention. Residents may find the 1-in-582 residents figure for monthly crime exposure particularly relevant, as it underscores the rarity of incidents in Fremington compared to national trends. The shift in crime mix—from predominantly violent offences in October to a more balanced distribution in November—suggests evolving patterns that could be influenced by local initiatives or changing community dynamics.

Fremington’s November 2025 crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 represents a 47.1% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.3 per 1,000, illustrating a marked improvement in local crime management. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 0 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that highlights the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the population of 5,235 residents, the monthly exposure rate of 1 crime per 582 residents underscores the low likelihood of encountering crime in Fremington compared to the UK average. This statistic provides a tangible benchmark for residents, emphasizing that the chances of being affected by crime are exceptionally low in this community. The previous month’s rate of 3.3 per 1,000, while still below the UK average, suggests a temporary fluctuation that may have been influenced by seasonal factors such as the end of the school term or increased foot traffic during local events. The sustained low rate in November, combined with the 76.7% gap from the national average, reinforces Fremington’s status as an area with consistently strong crime prevention measures. This could be attributed to factors such as effective policing strategies, community engagement, or the geographic characteristics of the area, which limit exposure to high-risk environments typically associated with higher crime rates.
