Moor Park Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2023, Moor Park’s crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents placed it 60.2% below the UK average, underscoring a consistently safer environment compared to national trends. This built-up area within Three Rivers saw a mix of crime types, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 26.3% of all incidents, followed by vehicle crime (21.1%) and anti-social behaviour (15.8%). The seasonal context of peak summer, with schools out and festivals in full swing, likely influenced these patterns. For instance, the rise in criminal damage and arson could be linked to increased outdoor events, while the drop in vehicle crime might reflect fewer cars on the road during holidays. Violence and sexual offences, though lower than the UK average, still occurred at a rate of 0.9 per 1,000, a figure that, while manageable, warrants attention during busy summer nights. The area’s relatively low crime rate aligns with its character as a suburban built-up area, where community policing and local initiatives may contribute to sustained safety. However, the 46% increase in vehicle crime compared to the UK average (0.5 per 1,000) highlights a specific vulnerability, tied to Moor Park’s proximity to transport hubs or commuter routes. These statistics illustrate how crime rates, while low overall, reflect local dynamics that shape daily risk for residents.

July 2023 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with criminal damage and arson doubling from one to two incidents—a 100.0% increase. This rise, alongside a similar jump in burglary, may reflect heightened activity during the summer festival season, though no definitive causal link can be drawn. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 55.6%, from nine to four incidents, potentially influenced by reduced car usage during holidays or increased police patrols. Violence and sexual offences also fell by 44.4%, from nine to five, suggesting a possible seasonal decline in alcohol-fuelled incidents. Vehicle crime in Moor Park was 46% above the UK average (0.5 per 1,000), a figure residents may find pertinent given the area’s proximity to major transport routes. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences were 68% below the UK average (2.8 per 1,000), indicating a safer environment for public spaces and community events.

Moor Park’s crime rate in July 2023 stood at 3.3 per 1,000 residents, a 27.0% decline from the previous month’s rate of 4.5 per 1,000. This downward trend suggests a relative improvement in safety over the past 30 days. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 307 residents, a statistic that translates to a low but tangible risk for individuals living or working in the area. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which highlights Moor Park’s comparatively safer environment. The population context further underscores that, despite the 19 total crimes recorded, the scale of these incidents remains proportionally modest given the area’s 5,842 residents. This combination of low frequency and manageable exposure aligns with Moor Park’s status as a built-up area within Three Rivers, where community engagement and local policing may contribute to sustained crime reduction.
