Rural Redbridge Crime Rate August 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In Rural Redbridge, the per-capita perspective reveals a crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents in August 2024, placing the area 73.2% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s generally low-risk profile, which is consistent with its rural character and limited density of commercial or residential targets. The crime types most frequently reported in August were anti-social behaviour, burglary, vehicle crime, and violence and sexual offences, each accounting for 25% of the total four reported incidents. The distribution of these crimes reflects the interplay between local factors and seasonal patterns. For instance, the 100% increase in burglary and vehicle crime may be partly explained by the area’s built-up nature within a rural setting, where holiday-related absences could leave properties more vulnerable. Conversely, the 50% decline in anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences compared to July suggests a possible alignment with August’s typically quieter social rhythms, though the small number of incidents limits definitive conclusions. The UK average comparison further illustrates that while certain categories like burglary exceed national norms, the overall crime rate remains significantly lower, a pattern consistent with rural areas where crime is often concentrated in specific high-risk locations. Seasonal context also plays a role: August, as a peak holiday month, may elevate burglary risks due to increased tourism and temporary property vacancies, yet the area’s low crime rate overall indicates that these factors have not translated into a broader spike. This suggests that local policing efforts, community engagement, or the area’s physical characteristics—such as lower population density and limited nightlife—may contribute to maintaining a low crime environment despite occasional fluctuations.

August 2024 saw a 100% increase in both burglary and vehicle crime, with one incident of each type reported. This contrasts sharply with a 50% decrease in anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences, which fell from two to one incident each. While burglary rates in the area are 87% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000, the overall crime rate remains 73.2% below the national average of 8.2 per 1,000. This divergence highlights how specific categories can deviate from the UK norm while the area as a whole maintains a low-risk profile. The increase in burglary during August may be linked to the seasonal context of empty homes during peak holiday months, though the small sample size means these trends require cautious interpretation. Residents may find the 1-in-451 resident monthly exposure statistic particularly useful for understanding the rarity of incidents in their local area.

Rural Redbridge’s August 2024 crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents marks a 55.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.0 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the area’s generally low crime profile. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 0 crimes per day over August, highlighting the rarity of incidents in this built-up rural setting. When considering monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 451 residents over the course of the month—a statistic that underscores the relatively low risk for individuals living in the area. While this figure is a local aggregate and not comparable to national data, it provides context for residents assessing their personal risk. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that, despite isolated increases in specific categories like burglary, the overall rate remains significantly below the UK average, reflecting the area’s unique characteristics and limited density of potential targets.
