Moor Park Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Moor Park's crime profile in February 2025 is defined by anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 53.3% of all reported incidents. This category, at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, significantly exceeds the UK average of 1.0 per 1,000, suggesting local factors that amplify such behaviour. The area's overall crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 remains 61.2% below the UK average, a gap that reflects the built-up area's character as a commuter suburb with limited nightlife and strong community cohesion. Violent crime (0.7 per 1,000) and property crime (0.9 per 1,000) both fall well below national averages, with the latter category comprising only 20% of all crimes. This stark contrast to the UK's higher violent crime rates may be attributed to Moor Park's lower population density and the absence of major retail hubs. Seasonal factors also play a role, as February's low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull likely contribute to the area's subdued crime levels. The dominance of anti-social behaviour highlights the need for targeted community initiatives, while the overall safety of the area reinforces its appeal as a residential location.

February 2025 saw a dramatic surge in anti-social behaviour, which increased by 166.7% from three incidents in January to eight in February. This category now constitutes 53.3% of all reported crimes, significantly outpacing the UK average of 1.0 per 1,000 (44% above). Concurrently, robbery incidents doubled from zero to one, a stark increase that may reflect seasonal fluctuations in local activity patterns. In contrast, vehicle crime dropped by 50.0% (from two to one), potentially linked to reduced outdoor activity during winter. Violent crime also decreased by 20.0% (from five to four), though this remains 70% below the UK average. These shifts highlight a combination of local demographics and seasonal factors, with anti-social behaviour emerging as the most pressing concern. A resident might find the 166.7% rise in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, given its disproportionate share of total crimes.

Moor Park's crime rate in February 2025 (2.6 per 1,000 residents) marks a slight decline from the previous month's 2.7 per 1,000, reflecting a -6.2% decrease. This subtle shift underscores the area's consistently low crime profile relative to national benchmarks. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in February, a figure that, while low, highlights the persistent presence of minor incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 389 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average. This statistic, when contextualised against Moor Park's population of 5,842, illustrates how infrequent crime is in this built-up area. The contrast between local and national figures is stark, with Moor Park's overall rate remaining 61.2% below the UK average. This discrepancy may be influenced by the area's character as a commuter suburb with limited nightlife and high community engagement, factors that likely contribute to its safer environment.
