Poringland Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Poringland's crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 41.2% of all reported crimes. At 2.1 per 1,000 residents, the area's overall crime rate was 71.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently low level of criminal activity. This figure, while modest, is influenced by the area's rural character and limited urban infrastructure, which may contribute to lower exposure to crimes typically associated with densely populated zones. The breakdown of crimes reveals a mix of property and violent offences, with vehicle crime (23.5% of total) and burglary (11.8%) forming the next most significant categories. Seasonal factors appear to play a role, as November's extended evenings and events such as Bonfire Night may have heightened opportunities for certain types of crime. However, the stability in overall rates suggests that local measures or community dynamics are maintaining this low level of activity. The dominance of violence and sexual offences—despite a 22.2% month-on-month decrease—raises questions about the nature of interactions within the community, influenced by local events or demographics. The area's position as a built-up area within South Norfolk, rather than a major urban centre, likely contributes to its distinct crime profile, where property crimes are less frequent compared to national averages but violent crimes remain a persistent concern.

November 2025 saw a 300% surge in vehicle crime, rising from one to four incidents—a sharp increase that may reflect seasonal factors such as increased vehicle usage during Black Friday shopping or changes in parking patterns. Public order offences and criminal damage both doubled from zero to one incident, highlighting potential spikes in community tensions or disruptions during events like Bonfire Night. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour dropped by 75%, from four to one incident, suggesting a possible reduction in disruptive activities during the month. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 41.2% of total crimes, fell by 22.2% compared to the previous month, remaining 65% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Vehicle crime, while significantly above the UK average (25% higher), was the only category to show a marked increase, raising questions about local vulnerabilities in this area. These fluctuations underscore the importance of monitoring seasonal trends in a rural setting where community dynamics can influence crime patterns.

Poringland's crime rate remained stable in November 2025, matching the previous month's rate of 2.1 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no significant shifts in overall crime trends during the month. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population scale of 8,207 residents. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 483 residents over the course of the month—a statistic that contextualises the low frequency of incidents against the community size. This rate is lower than the UK average, though the comparison section focuses on local metrics rather than national benchmarks. The stability in crime rates aligns with the area's generally low crime profile, which may be influenced by its rural setting and limited urban infrastructure. The daily figure, while small, offers a tangible reference point for residents assessing local safety in relation to their immediate environment.
