Borough Green Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In March 2025, Borough Green’s crime rate stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 29.5% below the UK average of 7.8. This figure translates to a per-capita risk of approximately 1 in 181 residents encountering a reported crime over the course of the month. The breakdown reveals that violent crimes, particularly violence and sexual offences, accounted for the largest share of incidents, making up 52.9% of the total. This category alone was 6% above the UK average, suggesting a unique concentration of such crimes in the area. Anti-social behaviour followed, contributing 17.7% of the total, though this rate was 20% below the UK average. The seasonal context of March—transitioning to spring, with evenings lengthening—may have influenced these patterns, potentially increasing opportunities for crimes that occur in public spaces. Despite the overall low rate, the prominence of violent crimes highlights a specific risk that residents should be aware of, particularly as the weather improves and community activity increases. This data illustrates that while the area is generally safer than the UK average, targeted efforts may be needed to address the rise in more serious incidents.

March 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 6 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 157.1% rise in violence and sexual offences (from 7 to 18), suggests a shift in the crime mix towards more serious incidents. The category of violence and sexual offences, at 2.9 per 1,000, is 6% above the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, indicating a specific vulnerability in this area. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 60%, and other theft dropped by 83.3%, reflecting a possible reduction in opportunistic crimes. These changes may be linked to seasonal factors, such as longer evenings and the transition to spring, which could influence both the frequency and severity of incidents. For residents, the rise in violent crime is a critical data point, highlighting the need for awareness and community vigilance in the coming months.

Borough Green's crime rate in March 2025 rose to 5.5 per 1,000 residents, a 41.8% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.9. This shift, while notable, remains significantly below the UK average of 7.8. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a figure that translates to a manageable level of risk for residents. When scaled to the population of 6,149, the monthly exposure means that over the course of March, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 181 residents. This ratio underscores the relatively low likelihood of encountering crime in daily life, though the month-on-month rise suggests a need for continued monitoring. The population context also highlights that even with the increase, the area’s crime rate remains well within a range that many comparable communities might consider safe. Such figures are useful for residents assessing their personal risk, as they provide a tangible measure of how crime affects the local population.
