Egglescliffe Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Egglescliffe recorded 51 crimes across a population of 10,349 residents, yielding a crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000—43% below the UK average of 8.6. This figure, while modest, reflects the area's generally low crime profile compared to national trends. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime mix, accounting for 33.3% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (13.7%) and shoplifting (11.8%). The seasonal context of July—peak summer, with schools out and tourism at its height—likely influenced these patterns. For instance, the prominence of violence and sexual offences may correlate with increased social activity in public spaces during the evening, a common trend in built-up areas during summer festivals. Conversely, the sharp decline in public order offences (84% below UK average) could indicate effective community policing or reduced incidents during the month. The area's crime profile also shows a marked divergence from the UK average in specific categories: while other crime (5 incidents) was 194% above the national rate, vehicle crime (2 incidents) was 49% below, suggesting a combination of local factors. These trends underscore the importance of contextualising crime data against both national benchmarks and the area's unique seasonal dynamics.

July saw a 400% surge in criminal damage and arson, rising from 1 to 5 incidents. This spike contrasts with a 15% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 20 to 17. Anti-social behaviour also dipped slightly, with a 12.5% reduction from 8 to 7 incidents. Egglescliffe's rate for other crime—5 incidents—was 194% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000, a category that includes unclassified or low-severity offences. Meanwhile, vehicle crime doubled to 2 incidents, aligning with the UK average but showing a marked increase from the previous month. These shifts suggest a seasonal reallocation of criminal activity, possibly influenced by summer events and increased foot traffic in public spaces.

Egglescliffe's crime rate in July 2025 rose 8.6% compared to June, moving from 4.5 to 4.9 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in crime patterns during the summer months. On average, 2 crimes occurred daily in the area, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of July, 1 in every 203 residents experienced a reported crime, a monthly aggregate that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Egglescliffe remains significantly safer, with its overall rate 43% below the national figure. The population context—10,349 residents—means that even small fluctuations in crime numbers can be measured against a manageable scale, offering a clear picture of local security trends.
