Edenbridge Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a built-up area of Edenbridge's population size (7,893 residents), 50 reported crimes in June 2025 equate to a rate of 6.3 per 1,000 people — 22.2% below the UK average of 8.1. This figure, while modest, illustrates a combination of local dynamics and seasonal influences. The most common crime type, violence and sexual offences (17 cases, 34% of total), remained 23% below the UK average, a pattern consistent with Edenbridge's character as a largely residential area with limited nightlife infrastructure. Anti-social behaviour (12 cases, 24% of total) and criminal damage (9 cases, 18% of total) emerged as notable concerns, with the latter far exceeding the UK average by 90%. June's position as the start of the summer season likely contributed to shifts in activity patterns, with longer daylight hours potentially increasing opportunities for anti-social behaviour and property-related crimes. The balance of violent and property crimes (17 each) suggests a relatively even distribution, though the absence of shoplifting cases in June (1 case, 2% of total) compared to 4 in May indicates possible seasonal variations in retail activity or enforcement efforts. This data, combined with the area's low overall crime rate, illustrates a community with generally effective policing but specific vulnerabilities in property crime categories.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in robbery (+100%), anti-social behaviour (+100%), and other crime (+100%), reflecting a significant shift in the crime mix. These rises contrast with declines in shoplifting (-75%) and other theft (-66.7%), suggesting seasonal or situational factors may have influenced behaviour. Violence and sexual offences remained below the UK average (23% lower), but criminal damage and arson surged 90% above the national rate, an anomaly that could relate to local property management practices or environmental factors. The doubling of robbery incidents from zero to two cases highlights a new vulnerability, linked to increased summer foot traffic or targeted opportunism. Residents may find the 23% below UK average for violence and sexual offences particularly reassuring, though the 90% surplus in criminal damage warrants closer scrutiny of local infrastructure and community engagement strategies.

Edenbridge's crime rate in June 2025 (6.3 per 1,000 residents) rose slightly from 6.1 per 1,000 in May, marking a 4.1% increase. This translates to roughly 2 crimes per day across the built-up area, a figure that aligns with the area's relatively low overall crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 158 residents, a metric that provides context for individual risk exposure. With a population of 7,893, the 50 recorded crimes represent a manageable volume compared to the UK average, though the local balance of crime types reveals distinct patterns. The daily crime count, while modest, underscores the need for continued community vigilance, particularly in areas where anti-social behaviour and criminal damage have shown recent spikes. The population-scaled perspective highlights that residents face a lower likelihood of encountering crime than the national average, yet localised increases in specific categories warrant attention.
