Market Deeping Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 7,106 residents, Market Deeping recorded 32 crimes in November 2025, translating to a crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 people. This figure, 38.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, underscores the area’s relatively low level of criminal activity. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime picture, accounting for 14 incidents (43.8% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (7 cases, 21.9%) and drugs (3 cases, 9.4%). The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended darkness—may have influenced patterns. The violent crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000 was 22% below the UK average, suggesting that factors such as community cohesion or local policing efforts may contribute to this disparity. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour and public order offences, both of which declined compared to the previous month, fell below UK averages by 6% and 36% respectively. These figures reflect a balance between persistent challenges and a generally safer environment compared to the national context. The area’s low overall rate, despite the seasonal spikes in certain categories, highlights the effectiveness of local strategies in mitigating crime, though the increase in drug-related offences warrants further attention.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends for Market Deeping. Drug-related offences surged by 100%, rising from zero to three incidents—a stark contrast to the previous month. This increase, though small in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal factors or localised pressures. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 66.7%, dropping from three to one incident, potentially linked to reduced traffic or heightened awareness during darker evenings. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 43.8% of all crimes, but this rate was 22% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also declined, with a 33.3% reduction in public order offences, tied to the quieter pace of November compared to festive periods. Bicycle theft increased by 100%, a spike that could be tied to seasonal shopping or temporary changes in local demographics.

In November 2025, Market Deeping’s crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents marked a 27.8% increase from the previous month’s 3.5 per 1,000. This rise, though modest, reflects a shift in local dynamics. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 222 residents, highlighting the relatively low frequency of crime in this built-up area. Comparing this to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, Market Deeping remains significantly safer, with its rate 38.4% below the national benchmark. However, the month-on-month increase suggests a need to monitor patterns, particularly as seasonal factors like dark evenings and Black Friday shopping may influence activity. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that while crime occurs, its impact is diluted across a smaller community, offering a nuanced view of safety relative to larger urban centres.
