Rural Redbridge Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rural Redbridge continues to demonstrate a markedly lower crime rate than the UK average, with 2.8 crimes reported per 1,000 residents in June 2025. This figure is 65.4% below the national average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a pattern of sustained safety in this built-up rural area. Property crimes dominate the crime mix, accounting for 80% of all incidents, a trend consistent with the area’s low population density and limited commercial activity. The most common crime type, criminal damage and arson, occurred at a rate of 1.1 per 1,000 — 90% above the UK average for this category — a statistic that may partly explain the area’s elevated property crime rates. June, as the start of summer, typically sees increased tourism in rural regions, though this does not appear to have translated into a surge in theft or violence. Instead, the data suggests a seasonal shift in focus, with anti-social behaviour and shoplifting emerging as minor but notable concerns. The area’s low population of 1,803 residents likely contributes to the overall scarcity of incidents, as rural settings often see fewer opportunities for crime compared to urban centres. While the crime rate remains exceptionally low, the 90% disparity in criminal damage rates compared to the UK highlights a specific vulnerability that warrants attention.

June 2025 marked a 100% increase in both criminal damage and arson and shoplifting compared to May, though these remain isolated incidents in a largely crime-free environment. The 2.8 per 1,000 crime rate for Rural Redbridge is 65.4% below the UK average, with property crimes (4 total) making up 80% of all incidents — a stark contrast to the national emphasis on violent crime. Anti-social behaviour, though the second most common category, occurred at a rate 58% below the UK average, suggesting the area’s community-focused policing or social cohesion may be effective. Vehicle crime, at 0.6 per 1,000, is 62% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could be attributed to the area’s limited public transport and reliance on private vehicles. Residents may find the 1-in-361 resident monthly exposure rate particularly reassuring, though the 90% above UK average for criminal damage underscores the need for targeted prevention efforts in this category.

The crime rate in Rural Redbridge fell by 28.6% from 3.9 per 1,000 in May 2025 to 2.8 per 1,000 in June, a decline that aligns with the seasonal transition into summer. Over the course of June, the area saw roughly 0 crimes per day — a figure that, while technically accurate, may understate the impact of isolated incidents on local perception. The monthly exposure rate of 1 crime per 361 residents places Rural Redbridge among the safest areas in the UK, though this statistic must be contextualised within the area’s small population of 1,803. The 65.4% gap between Rural Redbridge’s rate and the UK average is particularly striking when considering the area’s built-up nature within a rural setting, which typically combines the low crime rates of rural regions with the infrastructure of urban areas. This contrast is most evident in categories like anti-social behaviour, where the rate is 58% below the UK average, and vehicle crime, where it is 62% above — a paradox that may reflect the limited public transport options and the relative isolation of the area’s built-up zones.
