Moor Park Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Moor Park's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 3.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the area 58.1% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends highlights the area's overall safety, though specific crime types reveal nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 27.8% of total incidents, a proportion that remains significantly lower than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This may be attributed to Moor Park's character as a built-up area within Three Rivers, where community policing and lower population density likely contribute to reduced violent crime. Vehicle crime, however, emerged as a notable concern, with 16.7% of total incidents recorded, a category that is 25% above the UK average. This discrepancy could be linked to the area's proximity to major roads or the increased presence of parked vehicles during the back-to-school period. Seasonal factors also played a role, as September's transition to cooler weather and the return of students to university may have influenced crime dynamics. The low overall rate suggests that Moor Park's built-up nature and relatively stable community structures provide a buffer against more severe criminal activity, though targeted measures for vehicle-related crimes may be warranted.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in vehicle crime, rising from one to three incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000 (25% above), raises questions about potential contributing factors such as increased car usage during the back-to-school season or unsecured vehicles in residential areas. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 75%, declining from four to one incident—a shift that may reflect the seasonal draw of students returning to university and the associated reduction in late-night disturbances. The crime mix also shifted with violent crimes accounting for 27.8% of total incidents, a proportion that remains significantly lower than the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000, 65% below). Meanwhile, theft from the person rose by 100%, highlighting a vulnerability in personal security that residents might wish to address. These changes illustrate a dynamic interplay between seasonal factors and localized crime patterns.

Moor Park's crime rate in September 2025 rose to 3.1 per 1,000 residents, a 50.2% increase from the previous month's rate of 2.1 per 1,000. This shift, though modest in absolute terms, reflects a notable uptick in specific crime categories. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure translates to one crime occurring for roughly every 325 residents. This statistic, while small, may prompt residents to consider localized factors such as seasonal transitions or increased foot traffic during the back-to-school period. The population context—5,842 residents—further emphasizes the manageable scale of crime within this built-up area, contrasting sharply with the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. These figures collectively illustrate a community that, despite a slight upward trend, remains significantly safer than the national average.
