Chiswell Green Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

September 2025 marked a continuation of Chiswell Green’s historically low crime profile, with a total of 19 crimes reported across a population of 6,029 residents. The area’s crime rate of 3.2 per 1,000 residents places it 56.8% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the effectiveness of local policing and community engagement efforts. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 57.9% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (15.8%) and criminal damage (10.5%). The seasonal context of September—marked by the return of students to local institutions and the transition into darker evenings—likely contributed to the persistence of violent crime, as increased foot traffic and social interactions in public spaces may have created conditions conducive to such incidents. However, the area’s overall safety remains evident, with property crimes (4 incidents) comprising only 21% of the total, significantly below the UK average for property-related offences. The low rate of anti-social behaviour, 57% below the UK average, further reinforces the area’s reputation as a relatively peaceful residential and commercial hub. While the rise in 'other crime' incidents—a category that includes unclassified or less frequent activities—suggests a need for continued vigilance, the broader trend of decreasing crime rates and the area’s consistent performance against national benchmarks indicate that Chiswell Green remains a secure place to live.

September 2025 saw a 100% increase in 'other crime' incidents, rising from zero to one reported case—a shift that may reflect underreported or newly classified activities. Anti-social behaviour, which had previously been the third most common crime category, dropped by 78.6% (from 14 to 3), aligning with broader reductions in public disorder. Violence and sexual offences, while still the most prevalent category (accounting for 57.9% of total crimes), decreased by 15.4% compared to the previous month, though they remain 30% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The area’s violent crime rate is particularly noteworthy, as it is 56.8% lower than the UK average, suggesting a generally safer environment despite the rise in 'other crime.' Residents should remain vigilant about the small but significant increase in unclassified incidents, which may include activities not typically captured in standard crime statistics.

Chiswell Green's crime rate in September 2025 (3.2 per 1,000) represents a 52.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.6 per 1,000, reflecting a marked reduction in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one crime reported per day over the 30-day period, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When considering the population of 6,029 residents, the monthly exposure to crime translates to one reported crime for every 317 residents—a statistic that highlights the area’s comparative safety. This monthly aggregate, while low, contrasts with the previous month’s higher rate, suggesting potential seasonal or situational factors that may have influenced the shift. The combination of reduced anti-social behaviour and violence, alongside a slight increase in 'other crime' incidents, indicates a nuanced pattern that requires further contextual analysis.
