Moor Park Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Moor Park's crime rate in May 2024 was 1.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 79.8% below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area's consistently low crime profile, a trend that has persisted despite seasonal variations. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 30.0% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime at 20.0% each. These figures align with the area's character as a relatively quiet built-up area within Three Rivers, where the density of residential properties and limited commercial activity may contribute to lower crime rates. Seasonal factors in May—such as longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising—could have influenced patterns, though the overall volume of crimes remained minimal. The area's performance against the UK average is particularly pronounced in violent crime categories, with violence and sexual offences at 0.5 per 1,000 compared to the national rate of 2.8 per 1,000. This suggests that local factors, such as strong community cohesion or effective policing, may be playing a role. However, the 150% increase in bicycle theft compared to the UK average highlights an area-specific vulnerability that warrants further exploration.

The most notable decline in May was a 66.7% reduction in public order offences, dropping from 3 to 1. This shift may reflect changes in community activity during the month, particularly with longer evenings and bank holidays potentially altering social patterns. Meanwhile, three crime categories saw increases: burglary, vehicle crime, and bicycle theft each rose by 100% compared to April. While these increases are statistically significant, they remain low in absolute terms—burglary and vehicle crime each added one incident, while bicycle theft moved from zero to one. The area's performance against the UK average is striking: violence and sexual offences were 82% below the national rate, and anti-social behaviour was 79% below. However, bicycle theft was an outlier, registering 150% above the UK average, a figure that may warrant closer attention given the area's low overall crime levels.

Moor Park's crime rate in May 2024 stood at 1.7 per 1,000 residents, a 9.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 1.9. This marks a continued trend of declining crime in the area, though the pace of reduction has slowed compared to earlier months. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day in May, reflecting the low overall volume. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 584 residents, a figure that places Moor Park well below the UK average in terms of monthly exposure. With a population of 5,842, this suggests that the risk of experiencing a crime is significantly lower than in many other areas. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with the small number of incidents, the area's crime profile remains distinct from national trends, particularly in categories like violence and anti-social behaviour where rates are below the UK average.
