Warlingham Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Warlingham’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.9 per 1,000, placing it 39.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000—a marked improvement that reflects sustained efforts in community safety. The area’s most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (40% of all incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (25%) and burglary (10%). This distribution suggests a mix of personal safety concerns and social challenges, with the high proportion of violent crime underscoring the need for targeted interventions. Seasonal context may also play a role, as the start of summer typically sees increased activity in public spaces, potentially contributing to the rise in anti-social behaviour. However, the area’s overall crime rate remains significantly lower than national averages, a trend consistent with its character as a relatively stable, suburban built-up area within Tandridge. The lower rates of property crime, particularly shoplifting and vehicle theft, may partly explain this advantage, though the 79% increase in burglary compared to the UK average indicates specific vulnerabilities that warrant attention. These patterns align with the area’s demographic profile, where a mix of residential and commercial zones likely influences crime dynamics.

June saw a 200.0% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from one to three incidents—a sharp spike that may partly explain the overall rate's rise. Anti-social behaviour also doubled, from five to ten cases, highlighting growing concerns in local public spaces. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 66.7%, dropping from six to two incidents, a reduction that likely reflects seasonal patterns as summer begins. Violence and sexual offences remained below the UK average at 2.0 per 1,000, while burglary rates were 79% higher than the national average. These divergent trends illustrate the combination of local factors, such as increased community engagement during warmer months and potential vulnerabilities in property security.

Warlingham's crime rate in June 2025 rose 21.0% compared to 4.0 per 1,000 in May, reflecting a slight upward trend in reported incidents. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that aligns with the area’s generally low crime profile. When scaled to the population of 8,172 residents, this translates to one reported crime for roughly every 204 residents over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, the increase from May suggests a need for continued monitoring. The population-scaled perspective underscores that even modest rises in crime rates can be meaningful in a small, densely populated built-up area. This context is critical for residents assessing local safety, as the low frequency of incidents still contrasts sharply with national trends.
