Fence Houses Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime rate in Fence Houses for June 2025 stood at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the area 34.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This lower-than-national rate suggests a relatively safer environment, though the distribution of crime types reveals specific patterns. Violent crimes, including violence and sexual offences, accounted for 46.4% of all reported incidents, making them the most common category. This high proportion may be influenced by the area’s built-up character and the social dynamics of a dense urban environment. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson, which rose sharply by 100% compared to the previous month, now stand at 90% above the UK average—a stark contrast to the area’s overall lower crime rate. Anti-social behaviour followed with 17.9% of incidents, significantly below the UK average, and public order offences also showed a 32% deficit compared to national figures. These variations indicate that while Fence Houses benefits from a generally lower crime rate, certain types of crime are more pronounced or influenced by local conditions. The start of summer in June may contribute to these patterns, as increased outdoor activity and longer daylight hours can influence both crime opportunities and community engagement. For residents, the per-capita perspective translates to a monthly risk of encountering one reported crime for every 191 individuals, a figure that underscores the area’s overall safety while highlighting the need for targeted awareness around specific crime types.

June 2025 saw a significant 100% increase in criminal damage and arson cases, rising from 3 to 6 incidents. This spike contrasts with a 50% decrease in burglary and other crime categories, which fell from 2 to 1 each. The area’s violent crime rate of 2.4 per 1,000 residents—16% below the UK average—suggests a relatively safer environment for residents compared to the national picture. However, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson, which now stands at 90% above the UK average, highlights a specific vulnerability in the area. This shift may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased outdoor activity or property maintenance during the summer months. For residents, the 50% reduction in burglary is a positive sign, indicating that targeted efforts or seasonal changes may be contributing to lower property crime rates.

Fence Houses' crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 26.3% compared to the previous month, falling from 7.1 to 5.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend of reduced activity during the summer months. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the course of June, a figure that contextualises the risk in everyday terms. When scaled to the population of 5,335, this means that over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 191 residents. This monthly exposure rate provides a tangible measure of risk, helping residents gauge how frequently crime might intersect with their lives. While the overall rate remains below the UK average, the fluctuation in specific crime types—such as the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson—suggests that local factors, including seasonal changes or community-specific dynamics, may influence crime patterns in ways that differ from national trends.
