Wingerworth Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Wingerworth’s crime profile in September 2025, accounting for 47.4% of the 19 reported crimes. With a crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a gap of 64.9%. This stark contrast may reflect the built-up area’s relatively small population and community-oriented environment, which could contribute to lower crime rates compared to larger urban centres. The dominance of violent crime—9 incidents in total—highlights a notable imbalance in the crime mix, with property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime comprising only 15.8% of all reports. Seasonal factors may play a role, as September marks the return to school and university term, increasing social interactions in local areas. However, the low overall crime rate suggests that Wingerworth’s built-up area within North East Derbyshire maintains a generally secure environment, though targeted incidents such as violence and anti-social behaviour remain areas of focus. The absence of significant spikes in property-related crimes may also indicate effective local measures in place, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this.

September 2025 saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime, with one incident reported—a sharp rise from zero in August. This could signal heightened traffic activity or changes in parking patterns during the school term. Similarly, other crime and burglary each rose by 100%, though these categories remain rare, with only one incident each. The decrease in violence and sexual offences by 18.2% (from 11 to 9) may reflect the start of the academic year, as structured environments often reduce unregulated interactions. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, from two to one incident, due to reduced outdoor activity as nights draw in. Wingerworth’s violent crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents is 53% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 66% below the national benchmark. These figures underscore the area’s consistently low crime profile, though the sharp increases in vehicle and burglary-related crimes warrant closer attention from local authorities. For residents, the stability in overall crime rates offers reassurance, even as specific categories shift.

Wingerworth’s crime rate remained stable in September 2025 compared to August, with no change from 2.6 per 1,000 residents. Locally, this translates to roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a frequency that may feel infrequent to residents. On a monthly basis, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 391 residents, a figure that puts the risk in perspective for those living in the area. With a population of 7,423, the low crime rate suggests that the built-up area’s population density and community structures may help mitigate criminal activity. However, the 100% increases in vehicle crime, burglary, and other crime—though still rare—highlight the need for vigilance in these specific categories. The UK-wide context further emphasizes Wingerworth’s safety, as its violent crime rate is 53% below the national average and anti-social behaviour is 66% lower. These comparisons reinforce the area’s position as a relatively secure place to live, though residents should remain aware of the small but notable shifts in crime trends.
