Ingleby Barwick Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Ingleby Barwick, the crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents in September 2024 translates to a low daily risk—roughly two crimes reported each day across a population of 26,556. This figure, 63.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, places the area in the lower quartile of national crime statistics. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 38.4% of all incidents, but even this rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents is 58% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and shoplifting followed, each contributing 16.4% of total crimes, though both remained significantly below national benchmarks. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return of university students and the end of the summer holiday period—may have influenced these patterns, with a notable 500% increase in burglary reported. This spike, while small in absolute terms, could be attributed to the increased presence of transient populations or the timing of local events. However, the overall crime profile suggests a stable, low-risk environment, with the area’s built-up character and suburban layout likely contributing to lower rates of property crime compared to densely populated urban centres. The contrast between the area’s crime statistics and the UK average underscores the impact of local factors, such as community cohesion, policing strategies, and the physical environment, in shaping crime outcomes.

September 2024 saw a sharp 500% increase in burglary, rising from one to six incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, contrasts with a 60% decline in anti-social behaviour and a 55.6% drop in public order offences—both likely linked to the seasonal transition as nights lengthen and university students return to campus. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type, comprising 38.4% of all incidents, but at 1.1 per 1,000 residents, this rate is 58% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Shoplifting, at 0.5 per 1,000 residents, also fell 26% short of the UK average, a trend consistent with the area’s lower retail density compared to major urban centres. The rise in burglary, however, may reflect heightened activity during the autumn months, when homes are left unoccupied during the day. For residents, the most immediate insight is the 60% reduction in anti-social behaviour, which could indicate improved community engagement or policing efforts in public spaces.

The crime rate in Ingleby Barwick for September 2024 stood at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, a 27.1% decline from the previous month’s rate of 3.8 per 1,000. This reduction, though modest, suggests a continued trend of lower crime levels compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly two crimes reported each day—a figure that, while not insignificant, remains far below the national context. Over the course of September, one reported crime occurred for every 364 residents, a monthly aggregate that underscores the relatively low exposure to crime in this built-up area. With a population of 26,556, the area’s crime profile reflects a combination of local factors, including the seasonal shift of September, which often sees a lull in summer-related activity and a return to routine patterns. The decline in anti-social behaviour by 60% and public order offences by 55.6% may partly explain this trend, though the sharp rise in burglary by 500% complicates the picture. These figures, when contextualised against the area’s character as a suburban community within Stockton-on-Tees, highlight the interplay between local demographics and seasonal rhythms in shaping crime patterns.
