Ashingdon Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2023, Ashingdon’s crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents offers a stark contrast to the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, with local rates 77.3% lower. This per-capita perspective means that for every 1,000 people in Ashingdon, only 1.7 crimes were recorded—a figure that translates to a resident having a minimal chance of becoming a victim. The crime profile shows property offences (5 incidents) and violent crimes (3 incidents) as the most common categories, though both remain well below national averages. Seasonal factors may have influenced some patterns: Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping could have contributed to increased public order offences, while darker evenings may have affected visibility and deterrence. However, the overall trend suggests a community with low crime exposure, where property crimes and violent incidents are rare compared to larger urban centres. The low rate of anti-social behaviour (0.2 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.3 per 1,000) further reinforce this safety profile, though localised events may occasionally drive short-term fluctuations. Ashingdon’s data aligns with a pattern often seen in smaller built-up areas, where community cohesion and limited population density contribute to crime prevention, even as national statistics highlight broader challenges in other regions.

November 2023 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with public order offences doubling from 0 to 2 incidents, and criminal damage and arson rising from 0 to 3. These increases, though small in absolute terms, contrast with declines in other categories: vehicle crime fell by two-thirds (6 to 2), and violent crimes dropped by 62.5% (8 to 3). Violent crimes in Ashingdon remain 81% below the UK average, a stark contrast to national trends. The breakdown also reveals that anti-social behaviour, at 0.2 per 1,000, is 81% below the UK rate, highlighting a consistent safety profile. For residents, the daily crime count of 0 per day offers reassurance, even as seasonal factors like Bonfire Night may temporarily influence specific offence types.

Ashingdon's November 2023 crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents marks a 39.0% decline from the previous month's 2.8 per 1,000, reflecting a continued trend of reduced criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly 0 crimes reported over 30 days, translating to an extremely low likelihood of encountering crime in any given day. Monthly exposure further illustrates this safety: over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 580 residents, a figure significantly lower than the UK average. This stark contrast underscores the area’s relative security compared to national benchmarks, though local factors like community engagement or seasonal dynamics may contribute. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Ashingdon’s residents face minimal risk, with crime rates far below both historical norms and national averages, even as month-on-month fluctuations suggest occasional shifts in criminal patterns.
