Tandridge Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tandridge's crime rate in May 2025 stood at 6.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure 25.9% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This marks a continuation of the area's historically lower crime profile, though recent data reveals nuanced shifts in crime patterns. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 29.7% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.4%) and public order offences (10.5%). These figures align with Tandridge's suburban character, where community policing and lower population density may contribute to reduced violent crime rates. However, the seasonal context of May—marked by longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising—appears to have amplified certain categories, such as public order offences and vehicle crime. The 38.7% rise in vehicle crime from April to May may be linked to increased parking activity in local retail areas, while the 10.5% share of public order offences suggests heightened interactions in public spaces. Tandridge's rate of violence and sexual offences—1.8 per 1,000—is 36% below the UK average, a disparity that may reflect the area's lower levels of deprivation and stronger community engagement. This contrasts with categories like 'Other crime,' which rose sharply, highlighting how niche or unclassified offences can become statistically significant in smaller jurisdictions. The overall picture illustrates a combination of local geography, seasonal factors, and policing priorities, all of which shape Tandridge's crime profile in ways that differ from national trends.

May 2025 saw a dramatic 316.7% increase in 'Other crime' cases, rising from 6 to 25. This category, which includes unclassified or low-frequency offences, now constitutes 4.6% of all crimes reported—a sharp contrast to April's 1.1%. Concurrently, bicycle theft doubled from 0 to 2 cases, a 100% increase, possibly linked to the start of the summer cycling season. Vehicle crime also rose by 38.7%, from 31 to 43, a trend consistent with May's longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising. However, some categories saw declines: theft from the person fell by 50.0%, from 2 to 1, reflecting heightened awareness during warmer weather. Tandridge's violent crime rate—1.8 per 1,000—remains 36% below the UK average, a disparity that may be influenced by the area's lower population density and suburban character. These shifts underscore how seasonal factors can amplify or mitigate specific crime types, even within a broadly stable overall rate.

Tandridge's crime rate in May 2025 rose slightly to 6.0 per 1,000 residents, a 3.8% increase from April's 5.8 per 1,000. This translates to roughly 18 crimes reported daily across the district, a figure that, while steady, reflects the area's relatively low crime profile compared to the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 166 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Tandridge well below the national average for similar-sized areas. The population context is critical: with 90,586 residents, even small shifts in crime rates can be amplified statistically. For example, the 316.7% increase in 'Other crime' from 6 to 25 cases highlights how niche categories can dominate local statistics, even if they remain a small proportion of overall crime. This suggests that while Tandridge is generally safer than the UK average, targeted trends—such as spikes in non-traditional offences—can emerge unexpectedly, requiring nuanced interpretation.
