Edwalton’s September 2025 crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents reflects a community of approximately 5,800 people experiencing 29 total crimes, a figure that translates to one reported incident for every 199 residents. This rate is 32.4% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores Edwalton’s generally safer profile. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences dominate, accounting for 44.8% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (24.1%) and burglary (10.3%). The seasonal context of September—marked by back-to-school activity and university freshers—may have influenced these patterns, with increased foot traffic potentially contributing to higher rates of violent crime and anti-social behaviour. However, the overall low rate remains consistent with the area’s character as a relatively rural built-up area within Rushcliffe, where community cohesion and lower population density may act as mitigating factors. The relatively low incidence of property crime, particularly shoplifting (67% below the UK average), aligns with Edwalton’s limited retail presence compared to larger urban centres. These findings illustrate a combination of local demographics, seasonal rhythms, and broader geographic factors that shape the area’s crime profile.
