Tendring Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Tendring, the crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 in November 2025 translates to a daily risk that, while present, remains below the UK average. This figure—4.1% lower than the national rate of 7.3—reflects a broader trend of relative safety. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime picture, accounting for 48.8% of all incidents, with a rate of 3.4 per 1,000. This is higher than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, suggesting that local factors, such as the area’s mix of urban and rural environments, may amplify risks in certain contexts. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and prolonged darkness—likely interacts with these patterns. For instance, the increase in violent crimes may be linked to heightened social interactions during festive events, while the drop in bicycle theft could correlate with reduced outdoor activity as temperatures fall. Meanwhile, property crimes constitute 32.7% of the total, with 350 incidents reported, though this remains a smaller share than the 53% of violent crimes. The UK comparison adds further perspective: while Tendring’s overall rate is slightly better than the national average, the disparity in specific categories indicates that the area’s crime profile is not uniformly aligned with broader trends. These insights, when contextualised, help residents understand how crime manifests in their daily lives, whether through increased vigilance in public spaces or awareness of local initiatives addressing specific issues.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in Tendring’s crime profile. The rate of violent crimes—536 total—remained high compared to the UK average, with 3.4 per 1,000 residents versus the national average of 2.6 per 1,000. This 32% gap suggests local factors, such as seasonal gatherings or community dynamics, may contribute to sustained pressures in this category. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply, with 80 incidents reported—53% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000. This could reflect improved community engagement or targeted policing efforts. Month-on-month changes revealed a 24% rise in vehicle crime, linked to increased traffic during Black Friday shopping or Bonfire Night events. Meanwhile, bicycle theft dropped by 44.4% (from 9 to 5 incidents), a decline that might align with seasonal shifts in outdoor activity. For residents, the 38% reduction in drug-related crimes—from 33 to 22 cases—offers a tangible sign of progress in tackling illicit activity, though the absolute number remains a concern.

Tendring’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 7.0 per 1,000 residents, a 5.7% decrease from the previous month’s 7.4 per 1,000. This decline suggests a stabilising trend in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 37 crimes per day, a figure that, while significant, remains consistent with historical averages for similar-sized districts. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 143 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises the risk in terms of individual likelihood. With a population of 156,759, this translates to a relatively low probability of encountering crime, though the distribution across crime types remains uneven. For instance, the rate of violence and sexual offences—3.4 per 1,000—exceeds the UK average by 32%, highlighting a localised challenge that contrasts with other categories, such as anti-social behaviour, which is 53% below the national average. These disparities underscore the need for targeted approaches to address specific crime trends without overgeneralising the overall safety profile of the area.
