Ashingdon Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Ashingdon’s crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents stood at 84.9% below the UK average, marking one of the safest months on record for the built-up area within Rochford. The data reveals a stark contrast between local patterns and national trends, with violent crimes (6 incidents) comprising 85.7% of all reported incidents. This dominance of violent offences over property crimes—a category represented by just one 'other theft' case—raises questions about the area’s demographic and social dynamics. While the UK average for violent crimes is 2.6 per 1,000, Ashingdon’s rate of 0.9 per 1,000 is 65% lower, suggesting a combination of low population density, strong community ties, or effective policing. Seasonal factors such as dark evenings and Black Friday shopping, which typically correlate with increased theft and public order offences, did not manifest in Ashingdon to these events. The low crime rate is further contextualised by the area’s built-up character within Rochford, a largely rural district where crime is often concentrated in small pockets. The absence of property crimes, despite the commercial activity associated with Black Friday, may reflect local retail strategies or heightened awareness among residents. Overall, the data illustrates an area where crime is not only rare but also low compared to national benchmarks, though the reasons for this remain speculative without further analysis.

November saw a 100% increase in 'other theft' cases, rising from 0 to 1 incident—a rare spike in an otherwise stable month. Violent crimes, which accounted for 85.7% of all reported incidents, remained 65% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This stark underperformance relative to national trends highlights the area’s exceptional safety in violent crime categories, even as seasonal factors like dark evenings and Black Friday shopping typically correlate with higher theft rates. The absence of property crimes—only 1 incident reported—contrasts with the UK average for 'other theft' (0.5 per 1,000), suggesting that local deterrents or community vigilance may be effective. For residents, the daily crime rate of zero incidents over 30 days offers a tangible reassurance that most days pass without any criminal activity.

Ashingdon's November 2025 crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents marks a 64.9% drop from the previous month’s 3.1 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained decline in local crime. This reduction positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with its rate 84.9% below the national average. On a daily basis, Ashingdon recorded roughly zero crimes over the 30-day period, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. Translating this to monthly exposure, one crime occurred for every 912 residents—a statistic that, while abstract, illustrates the low probability of encountering crime in everyday life. The population of 6,382 means that the average resident faces minimal risk, with violent crimes (accounting for 85.7% of all incidents) remaining significantly below UK averages. This stark contrast to national trends suggests that local factors—such as community cohesion, policing strategies, or geographic isolation—may contribute to the area’s safety profile from the data alone.
