Bramley and Wonersh Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bramley and Wonersh, a built-up area within Waverley, recorded a crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 in September 2025—70.3% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national figures underscores the area’s status as one of the safest in the country, a position reinforced by its low overall crime volume and the absence of significant spikes in major categories. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (36.4% of total), followed by criminal damage and arson (27.3%) and anti-social behaviour (9.1%). The area’s crime profile is shaped by its characteristics as a relatively low-density, commuter-oriented suburb within a larger rural district, where community cohesion and limited nightlife may contribute to the suppression of violent crime. Seasonal factors, such as the return to school and university term starts in September, are likely to influence crime patterns, though the stable month-on-month rate suggests that these transitions have not triggered notable increases. The relatively low incidence of property crimes (5 out of 11 total) compared to the UK average further highlights the area’s distinct socio-economic context, possibly linked to its proximity to Waverley’s broader infrastructure and the absence of high-footfall retail or entertainment zones that might drive theft or burglary. This combination of geographic and demographic factors appears to create an environment where crime prevention measures are more effective, or where the population’s lifestyle inherently reduces exposure to high-risk activities.

September 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories, with criminal damage and arson, drugs, and theft from the person each increasing by 100% compared to the previous month. This rise in these categories contrasts with a 75% decrease in anti-social behaviour and a 50% reduction in burglary, suggesting a shift in the nature of local crime. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 36.4% of all crimes, remain 69% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a statistic that underscores the area’s continued safety in this category. Conversely, theft from the person—now at 0.2 per 1,000—surpasses the UK average by 54%, a deviation that may reflect the area’s proximity to transport hubs or transient populations during the university freshers’ period. The increase in criminal damage and arson, which now stands at 0.6 per 1,000, is 13% above the UK average, potentially linked to seasonal maintenance activities or localized incidents. These shifts highlight the importance of monitoring emerging trends, even in areas with historically low crime rates.

Bramley and Wonersh's crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 in September 2025 remains unchanged from the previous month, underscoring a consistent trend in local crime dynamics. With 11 total crimes reported over 30 days, the area experiences roughly 0 crimes per day—a figure that places it among the safest built-up areas in the UK. When scaled to the population of 5,091, this equates to one reported crime for every 463 residents over the course of the month, a statistic that reflects the area’s low overall crime profile. While the UK average sees 7.4 crimes per 1,000 residents, Bramley and Wonersh’s rate is 70.3% below this benchmark, a disparity that highlights the effectiveness of local crime prevention strategies or the area’s unique socio-economic characteristics. The stability in the crime rate also suggests that seasonal factors, such as the return to school and university term starts in September, have not significantly disrupted the local crime picture. This consistency, combined with the low daily crime frequency, reinforces the perception of Bramley and Wonersh as a relatively secure environment for residents and visitors alike.
