Moor Park Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Moor Park, 2.9 crimes were reported in July 2024—making the area 65.5% safer than the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000. This low rate translates to a daily risk of roughly 1 in 344 residents encountering a crime over the course of the month, a figure that places Moor Park among the safest built-up areas in the UK. The crime profile shows a clear focus on property-related offences, with vehicle crime accounting for nearly 29% of all incidents (5 cases). This is 96% above the UK average for vehicle crime, suggesting a localised vulnerability in vehicle security or parking patterns. Other theft and criminal damage also feature prominently, though both are slightly below UK averages. The area's low violent crime rate—just 0.2 per 1,000—contrasts sharply with the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, indicating a safer environment for residents in terms of personal safety. July, a peak summer month with schools out and tourism at its height, may have influenced patterns: while increased foot traffic could contribute to vehicle crime, the absence of violent crime during this period aligns with seasonal trends in suburban and semi-rural areas where community cohesion often reduces interpersonal conflict. The overall crime rate remains exceptionally low, reflecting Moor Park's character as a built-up area with limited commercial density and a focus on residential stability.

July 2024 saw three specific crimes—other crime, bicycle theft, and anti-social behaviour—each increase by 100% compared to June, reflecting sudden spikes in these categories. This surge in 'other crime' (1 case) and bicycle theft (1 case) suggests either a temporary rise in unclassified offences or heightened vulnerability in areas with cycling infrastructure. Conversely, violent crime dropped by 80% (from 5 to 1), possibly due to the absence of school holidays or reduced public gatherings during the month. The vehicle crime rate in Moor Park (0.9 per 1,000) was 96% above the UK average, a stark anomaly that may indicate unique local factors such as parking layouts or vehicle storage practices. Bicycle theft, at 0.2 per 1,000, was 122% above the UK average, which could be linked to the area's proximity to cycling routes or recreational parks. Meanwhile, burglary (0.2 per 1,000) was 35% below the UK average, consistent with the area's low overall crime rate and reflecting secure housing stock. The most striking contrast remains the violent crime rate, which was 93% below the UK average, a figure that may be attributed to Moor Park's built-up nature and lower population density compared to major urban centres.

The crime rate in Moor Park for July 2024 (2.9 per 1,000) was 6.2% higher than June's rate of 2.7 per 1,000, a modest increase that does not reflect a significant shift in overall safety. This translates to an average of 1 crime reported per day over the 31-day period, a figure that places Moor Park well within the range of low-risk areas nationally. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 344 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low compared to the UK average. This figure underscores the area's status as a relatively safe built-up zone, where the likelihood of encountering crime is minimal for most residents. The population-scaled perspective reveals that even with the 100% increases in certain crime categories, the absolute numbers remain small: for example, bicycle theft and anti-social behaviour each added just one case to the monthly total. This suggests that while specific issues may require attention, the overall risk to residents remains negligible. The previous month's data (2.7 per 1,000) provides a useful benchmark, showing that the current rate, though slightly higher, is still firmly within the lower end of the UK crime spectrum.
