Tandridge Crime Rate August 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Tandridge, 5.7 crimes were reported in August 2024 — a rate 30.5% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective translates to an everyday risk where residents face significantly lower exposure to crime than the national average. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (31.8% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (19.3%) and public order offences (14.0%). These figures suggest a community grappling with interpersonal conflicts and disorder, though both categories remain below UK averages. Seasonal factors in August — a peak holiday month — may have influenced patterns, with tourism potentially increasing vehicle crime while empty homes during holidays could have reduced burglary opportunities. The relatively low rate of burglary (0.1 per 1,000) compared to the UK average (0.3 per 1,000) aligns with this seasonal context, though the 69% deficit highlights Tandridge's unique characteristics. The area's crime profile appears shaped by a combination of rural-urban dynamics, where public spaces and social interactions drive certain offences, while infrastructure or demographics mitigate others. This balance, though not without challenges, underscores the importance of targeted interventions for violence and disorder while maintaining the gains in property crime reduction.

August 2024 saw a striking 51.9% increase in vehicle crime, with reports rising from 27 to 41. This surge, though notable, remains below the UK average for this category by 11%. Conversely, burglary plummeted by 63%, dropping from 27 to 10 — a rate 69% below the UK average. The violence and sexual offences category, at 1.8 per 1,000, was 31.8% of total crimes and 33% below the UK average, suggesting a focus on addressing interpersonal conflicts. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 17.9%, potentially linked to increased social activity during the summer months. These fluctuations highlight the interplay between seasonal factors and local dynamics, with tourism likely contributing to vehicle crime increases while empty homes during holidays may have reduced burglary opportunities.

Tandridge's crime rate in August 2024 stood at 5.7 per 1,000 residents, a 2.9% decrease from the previous month's 5.8 per 1,000. This decline, though modest, aligns with a broader trend of stability in the area's crime profile. On a daily basis, 17 crimes were reported across the district — a figure that translates to roughly one crime occurring for every 177 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure metric underscores that while Tandridge remains below the UK average, residents still encounter crime at a rate that warrants attention. The population context further illustrates this: with 90,586 residents, the district's crime distribution reflects a balance between urban and rural dynamics, where lower overall rates coexist with specific pockets of activity. The shift from July to August also highlights seasonal patterns, with tourism-driven factors potentially influencing crime types and locations.
