Bayston Hill Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Bayston Hill’s November 2023 crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 residents places it 74.7% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, a stark contrast that underscores the area’s relative safety. This figure, the lowest recorded in recent months, follows a 54.5% decline from October’s 4.2 per 1,000, suggesting a sustained reduction in criminal activity. The breakdown of crimes reveals a focus on violent offences — 5 incidents (50% of total) — and anti-social behaviour (30%), with property crimes remaining minimal at just 1 case. Seasonal factors likely influenced these patterns: the darkening evenings of November may have contributed to increased anti-social behaviour, while Bonfire Night’s proximity could have temporarily elevated public order concerns before a subsequent decline. Violence and sexual offences, though rising by 25% from October’s 4 cases, still remain 61% below the UK average, a gap that may reflect the area’s demographic profile or strong community cohesion. The low overall rate, combined with the dominance of violent crime, hints at a combination of local dynamics and national trends. This data aligns with Bayston Hill’s broader trend of maintaining crime levels significantly below national benchmarks, even as specific categories like vehicle crime show small upward fluctuations.

November saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with vehicle crime doubling from 0 to 1 incident, and anti-social behaviour increasing by 50% to 3 cases. Despite these rises, Bayston Hill’s violent crime rate of 1.0 per 1,000 remains 61% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The drop in public order offences — from 2 to 1 — may reflect seasonal changes, such as the waning influence of Bonfire Night events. While property crimes fell to just 1 case (0.2 per 1,000), the area’s violent crime share (50% of total incidents) contrasts with the UK’s 35% average. Residents may find the 61% gap in violent crime rates particularly noteworthy, as it suggests local factors — such as community engagement or policing strategies — contribute to this divergence. The 100% increase in vehicle crime, though small in absolute terms, highlights the need for continued vigilance in parking areas.

Bayston Hill’s November 2023 crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 54.5% drop from the previous month’s 4.2 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained trend of declining crime. Over 30 days, this translates to roughly 0 crimes per day, a figure that underscores the area’s exceptionally low monthly exposure. For context, one reported crime occurred for every 521 residents during the month — a ratio that, while localised, illustrates the rarity of crime in this built-up area. Comparing this to the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, Bayston Hill’s rate remains 74.7% below national levels, a gap that has widened over recent months. The population-scaled perspective highlights how infrequent crime is in daily life here, though the small sample size means individual incidents carry significant weight in statistical analysis. This contrast with UK averages suggests that factors unique to Bayston Hill — such as its rural-adjacent setting or community dynamics — may play a role in sustaining lower crime rates despite seasonal fluctuations.
