Moor Park Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Moor Park's crime profile in January 2026 reflects a continued trend of low overall criminal activity, with a total crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents — 75% below the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000. The area's crime composition was dominated by property-related offences, with 7 out of 10 reported crimes falling into this category. The most common crime type was 'other theft', accounting for 30% of all incidents, followed by vehicle crime at 30%. This pattern aligns with the characteristics of a built-up area within Three Rivers, where property crimes often dominate due to factors such as residential density and local infrastructure. Seasonal context suggests that January's lower crime rate may be influenced by post-holiday dynamics, including reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours, which can contribute to fewer opportunities for certain types of crime. The absence of violent crimes in the top three categories further reinforces the area's generally safe environment. While property crimes remain the primary concern, the overall crime rate remains exceptionally low compared to national benchmarks, indicating that Moor Park continues to perform well in maintaining public safety.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in January 2026 was the 200% increase in 'other theft' incidents, rising from 1 to 3 cases. This surge, while significant, still places the category at 0.5 per 1,000 — 9% above the UK average for this category. Conversely, violence and sexual offences dropped by 88.9%, from 9 to 1, marking a sharp decline that brought the rate to 0.2 per 1,000 — 92% below the UK average of 2.5 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights a potential shift in criminal activity patterns, with property-related crimes rising while violent crime fell. The category of 'possession of weapons' also saw a 100% increase, from 0 to 1 case, though this remains well below the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. Residents may find the 75% overall reduction in crime compared to the UK average particularly noteworthy, as it suggests Moor Park's safety profile remains distinct from national trends.

Moor Park's crime rate in January 2026 fell to 1.7 per 1,000 residents, a 44.5% decrease from the previous month's 3.1 per 1,000. This marks the lowest rate recorded in the past year for the area. On a daily basis, the 10 reported crimes over 31 days equate to roughly 0 crimes per day, highlighting the area's overall safety. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 584 residents, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents within the local population. When compared to the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000, Moor Park remains significantly safer, with its rate 75% below the national benchmark. This stark contrast underscores the effectiveness of local policing strategies or the area's demographic and geographic characteristics, which may include lower population density or community-focused initiatives. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a markedly lower risk of experiencing crime than the average UK citizen, a trend consistent with other low-crime built-up areas in similar regions.
