Moor Park Crime Rate August 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 5,842, the 15 crimes reported in August 2024 translate to a crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 68.3% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the relatively secure environment in Moor Park, a built-up area within Three Rivers. The most common crimes were anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences, each accounting for 33.3% of the total, followed by other theft at 13.3%. These figures highlight a pattern where interpersonal and public order issues dominate over property crimes, which made up only 26.7% of the total. Seasonal factors may play a role in shaping these trends, as August is a peak holiday month in the UK, potentially increasing the presence of tourists and the likelihood of incidents in public spaces. However, the low overall crime rate suggests that local measures to manage public safety are effective, even during periods of increased foot traffic. The area's low crime rate, combined with its suburban character, may also reflect a combination of community engagement and targeted policing strategies that have contributed to maintaining a safe environment for residents.

August 2024 saw dramatic shifts in crime patterns within Moor Park. Anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences both increased by 400% compared to July, rising from 1 to 5 incidents each. This surge, though significant, remains well below the UK average for both categories, which stand at 1.4 and 2.7 per 1,000 respectively. Conversely, vehicle crime fell sharply by 80%, dropping from 5 to 1 incident, a decline that may reflect changes in local traffic patterns or increased awareness among residents. Other notable decreases included criminal damage and arson (-66.7%), and other theft (-33.3%), suggesting a possible reduction in opportunistic crimes during the summer months. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in the area, with specific categories showing marked volatility. For residents, the drop in vehicle crime could indicate improved parking security measures or a seasonal shift in criminal activity away from high-traffic zones.

Moor Park's crime rate in August 2024 stood at 2.6 per 1,000 residents, an 11.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.9. This decline aligns with the broader trend observed in the area, where crime rates have consistently remained well below national averages. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day, reflecting a very low frequency of incidents relative to its population of 5,842. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 389 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively safe environment in Moor Park compared to the UK average. When considering the population-scaled perspective, the low crime rate highlights the effectiveness of local measures in maintaining public safety, though seasonal factors such as August's peak holiday period may influence crime patterns in other areas. This monthly exposure figure, while modest, provides a clear snapshot of how infrequent criminal activity is in the built-up area, offering reassurance to residents about the security of their community.
