Chorleywood Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a resident of Chorleywood, the crime rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents in July 2025 means a 1-in-321 chance of encountering a crime during the month. This figure, 64% below the UK average of 8.6, positions the area as significantly safer than the national benchmark. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.2% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (29.6%) and other theft (11.4%). These patterns align with the area's character as a commuter-focused suburb with a mix of residential and retail spaces. The summer season, marked by school holidays and festivals, likely influenced the crime mix: while public order offences rose sharply, the overall rate remained low. Anti-social behaviour, which is 42% below the UK average, may reflect community-focused policing efforts, while the relatively low rates of property crime (10 incidents) suggest effective security measures in homes and businesses. Seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic during festivals may have contributed to the 100% increase in public order offences, though these remain a small portion of the total crime picture. The area's low crime rate, combined with its suburban infrastructure, creates an environment where residents can expect a markedly lower risk of victimisation compared to the UK average.

Other theft increased by 25%, likely tied to more foot traffic in retail areas during the school holiday period. Conversely, criminal damage and arson dropped by 62.5%, possibly due to increased community monitoring during warmer months. Violence and sexual offences. remain 54% below the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000.

Chorleywood's crime rate in July 2025 (3.1 per 1,000 residents) represents a 20% decline from June's rate of 3.9 per 1,000.

On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day in July, a figure that translates to a local context of one crime for every 321 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which is not directly comparable here due to the absence of a national daily or monthly exposure figure. When considering population-scaled perspectives, the area's relatively low crime rate suggests that residents face a significantly lower risk of encountering crime compared to the UK average, though local factors such as community engagement and policing strategies may contribute to this trend.
