Edwalton Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

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.

September 2025 saw significant month-on-month changes in specific crime categories. Burglary, possession of weapons, and 'other crime' all increased by 100% compared to the previous month, with burglary rising from zero to three incidents. This spike in burglary may partly explain the overall rate increase, though it remains well below the UK average. Conversely, other theft decreased by 50%, and anti-social behaviour fell by 12.5%, suggesting a mixed picture of local dynamics. The violent crime category, which accounted for 44.8% of total crimes, was 11% below the UK average, consistent with Edwalton’s generally low crime profile. 'other crime'—which includes incidents like unclassified theft or vandalism—jumped from zero to one, a change that may warrant closer attention. These shifts highlight the importance of context-specific analysis, as trends in individual categories can diverge from the broader picture.

In September 2025, Edwalton’s crime rate rose by 26.1% compared to the previous month, moving from 4.0 to 5.0 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the area still maintains a crime rate 32.4% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance during peak times. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 199 residents, a statistic that contextualises the risk faced by individuals in Edwalton. When viewed through the lens of population size, the 29 total crimes reported in September represent a manageable number for a community of around 5,800 people. However, the rise in specific categories such as burglary and possession of weapons highlights areas where local awareness and targeted measures may be necessary. This monthly exposure figure, though low, serves as a reminder that even in areas with generally low crime rates, individual incidents can still have a local impact.
