Queen's Hills Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In Queen's Hills, the per-capita risk of encountering crime in June 2023 was exceptionally low, with only 2.5 incidents reported per 1,000 residents. This rate is 70.6% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, highlighting the area’s relative safety. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark contrast between local and national patterns: 57.1% of reported incidents in June were violence and sexual offences, compared to the UK average of 49% for the same category. This suggests that while violent crime is present in Queen's Hills, it remains significantly lower than national levels. Anti-social behaviour accounted for 14.3% of total crimes, a figure that is 73% below the UK average of 1.5 per 1,000. The seasonal context of June—as the start of summer and the beginning of tourist activity in rural areas—may contribute to the slight increase in certain crime types. The area’s low crime rate aligns with its character as a built-up area within South Norfolk, where the combination of rural surroundings and limited urban density may reduce opportunities for crime. This pattern is consistent with other rural or semi-rural built-up areas in the UK, where crime rates are typically lower due to smaller populations and greater community oversight. The low rate of property crimes (21% of total) further supports this, as these often correlate with higher population density and commercial activity. For residents, the per-capita perspective offers reassurance: the likelihood of being directly affected by crime is minimal, even with the month-on-month increases in specific categories.

June 2023 saw a 100% increase in three crime categories compared to May: other crime, anti-social behaviour, and burglary. This includes a rise from zero to one reported case in each category. The mix of crimes shifted slightly toward property-related incidents, with property crimes (3 total) now accounting for 21% of the total, compared to 57% for violent crimes. Violent crimes in Queen's Hills (1.5 per 1,000) are 49% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This contrast is particularly striking in the context of the UK’s overall higher violence rates. For residents, the most immediate concern may be the doubling of anti-social behaviour reports, which now account for 14% of total crimes. This increase, though small in absolute terms, could reflect seasonal changes as summer activities intensify in the area.

For residents of Queen's Hills, the crime rate in June 2023 (2.5 per 1,000) translates to roughly one reported crime for every 395 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure is significantly lower than the UK average, which is not comparable here due to missing data. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day in June, a figure that reflects the low overall rate. This compares to a previous month rate of 1.6 per 1,000 in May, marking a 55.2% increase. While this rise is notable, the absolute numbers remain extremely low—just 14 total crimes in June. The population-scaled perspective shows that the likelihood of encountering crime is minimal, with only 2.5 incidents per 1,000 people. This suggests that Queen's Hills continues to be one of the safest areas in the UK, even with the month-on-month uptick. The low daily crime count also indicates that most residents are unlikely to experience crime in their daily lives, reinforcing the area’s reputation for safety.
