Bramley and Wonersh Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bramley and Wonersh's crime profile in February 2025 reveals a stark contrast to the UK average, with a rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents—61.2% below the national figure of 6.7 per 1,000. This built-up area within Waverley demonstrates a marked tendency towards lower overall crime. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 38.5% of all crimes, occurring at 1.0 per 1,000 residents. This rate is 57% below the UK average for the category, suggesting a combination of local factors such as community cohesion and limited nightlife activity. Other theft, at 0.6 per 1,000 residents, was 30% above the UK rate, potentially reflecting the area's retail presence and the relatively small scale of local businesses. The seasonal context of February—characterised by low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—likely contributes to the lower overall crime rate, though the 100% increase in certain categories indicates shifting patterns. The dominance of property crimes (6) over violent crimes (5) further illustrates the area's distinct profile, with no major spikes in violent incidents despite the winter month. This balance between low overall rates and specific category variations highlights the need for nuanced analysis of local conditions.

February 2025 saw sharp increases in three crime categories compared to January. Burglary, criminal damage and arson, and public order offences each rose by 100%, reflecting a notable shift in crime patterns. While property crimes (6) slightly outnumbered violent crimes (5), the most significant outlier was violence and sexual offences, which occurred at 1.0 per 1,000 residents—57% below the UK average of 2.4 per 1,000. This contrast with other theft, which was 30% above the UK rate (0.5 per 1,000), underscores the area's unique crime profile. For residents, the 100% increase in burglary may raise concerns, though the absolute number remains low at just one incident. These shifts align with seasonal factors, as winter months often see reduced outdoor activity but increased indoor incidents in residential areas.

Bramley and Wonersh's crime rate remained stable in February 2025 at 2.6 per 1,000 residents, matching the same figure recorded in January. This consistency suggests no significant monthly fluctuations in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 0.46 crimes per day over the 28-day period, translating to roughly one crime occurring for every 392 residents during the month. This monthly exposure figure, while low, contextualises the rarity of crime in the area against its population size. When compared to the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, Bramley and Wonersh's rate remains 61.2% lower, reinforcing its status as a relatively safe built-up area. The population-scaled perspective highlights that residents face far fewer criminal incidents than the national average, though local variations in crime type distribution remain distinct.
