Queen's Hills Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime rate in Queen's Hills for June 2025 stood at 1.6 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 80.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's exceptionally low risk profile, particularly when compared to national trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (22.2%) and criminal damage and arson (22.2%). These statistics suggest that while violent crime remains a concern, it is far from the norm in this built-up area of South Norfolk. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the onset of summer, may contribute to the area's crime dynamics. In rural and semi-rural areas like Queen's Hills, the start of the tourist season can influence local crime patterns, though the data does not indicate a significant increase in tourism-related offences. The low crime rate may reflect the area's character as a relatively quiet, low-density built-up area where community cohesion and limited urban density likely contribute to the reduced risk of crime. However, the presence of bicycle theft at a rate 186% above the UK average suggests that specific vulnerabilities exist, linked to the area's infrastructure or local demographics. This mixed picture underscores the need for targeted measures to address the few areas where crime rates deviate from the overall low-risk profile.

June 2025 saw a 40% reduction in violence and sexual offences, falling from five to three incidents. This decline may partly explain the overall drop in the area's crime rate. Meanwhile, two categories experienced notable increases: other crime and bicycle theft, each rising by 100% from zero to one incident. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, highlight shifts in the crime mix, with property crimes and violent crimes each accounting for 33.3% and 22.2% of total incidents respectively. Violence and sexual offences remain 83% below the UK average, a stark contrast to bicycle theft, which is 186% above the national rate. This disparity underscores the area's unique crime profile, where violent crime remains rare but specific property-related offences, such as bicycle theft, show unexpected surges that may warrant local attention.

Queen's Hills' crime rate in June 2025 fell to 1.6 per 1,000 residents, an 18.1% decrease from the previous month's 2.0. This decline places the area's daily crime count at roughly zero per day, a statistic that may offer reassurance to local residents. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 614 residents, a figure that illustrates the low likelihood of encountering crime in this built-up area of South Norfolk. With a population of 5,524, the area's relatively small size and the low crime rate combine to create a monthly exposure risk that is significantly lower than the UK average. This context suggests that Queen's Hills' residents face a much lower probability of being directly affected by crime compared to the national picture, though the small population base means even minor fluctuations can appear substantial in absolute terms.
