Egglescliffe Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Egglescliffe's crime profile in January 2025, accounting for 38.7% of all reported crimes. With a crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 57.7% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast to the national figure underscores the relatively low exposure to crime experienced by Egglescliffe's 10,349 residents. The data illustrates a pattern where property crimes, though present, are not the most significant category—violence and sexual offences remain the primary concern, followed by criminal damage and arson, burglary, and public order incidents. Seasonal factors likely contribute to this profile, as January's post-holiday period, shorter daylight hours, and reduced retail activity align with the lower frequency of outdoor crimes typically observed in the area. The crime rate's consistency with previous months suggests a stable, albeit low-level, crime environment. The absence of major spikes in property-related crimes, despite the 100% increase in burglary and vehicle crime, indicates that these categories remain far below their UK averages. The relatively low incidence of violent crime, even as a proportion of total crimes, may be influenced by the area's character as a built-up part of Stockton-on-Tees, where community policing and local initiatives likely play a role in maintaining public safety. The data also highlights the importance of contextualising crime rates within the area's specific demographics and geography, as the combination of a small population and low crime density creates a unique profile distinct from larger urban centres.

January 2025 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with burglary, vehicle crime, and robbery each increasing by 100% compared to December 2024. This surge in property-related crimes contrasts with a 33.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which dropped from 18 to 12 incidents. The category of violence and sexual offences remains 52% below the UK average of 2.5 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the 1.2 per 1,000 recorded locally. Anti-social behaviour also saw a marked decline, with a 38.7% reduction in reported incidents. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime, with property crimes now accounting for 23.5% of all reported crimes, compared to 38.7% for violence and sexual offences in the previous month. A resident would find the daily crime rate of approximately one incident per day particularly useful for contextualising local safety levels.

Egglescliffe's crime rate rose by 7.1% in January 2025 compared to the previous month, moving from 2.8 to 3.0 per 1,000 residents. This slight upward trend contrasts with the overall low crime profile that has characterised the area for years. Locally, the monthly tally of 31 crimes equates to roughly one reported crime per day, a figure that reflects the small population of 10,349 residents. Over the course of the month, this translates to one crime occurring for every 334 residents, a statistic that provides a tangible sense of the scale of incidents relative to the community. While the increase is notable, it remains far below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. The daily crime context is particularly useful for residents, offering a clear benchmark for understanding local crime frequency in relation to their own lives. This figure also highlights the relatively low exposure to crime that Egglescliffe residents experience compared to other parts of the country.
