Hindhead Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Hindhead’s crime rate in November 2025 remained exceptionally low at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure 61.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s unique position as a built-up district within Waverley, where crime levels are consistently lower than national benchmarks. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.8% of total incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (25.0%) and public order offences (12.5%). Despite the seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended darkness—the area’s crime profile remained stable, with no significant spikes in property-related incidents. This stability may be attributed to the area’s small population and limited commercial activity compared to larger urban centres, though the dominance of violent crime suggests a need for targeted community engagement. The UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000) is 53% below Hindhead’s rate, highlighting a localised concentration of such incidents. While the low crime rate is a positive indicator, the seasonal factors of November—such as reduced visibility and increased social gatherings—may have influenced the distribution of crime types, with violent incidents linked to transient or localised tensions.

Violence and sexual offences declined by 41.7% in November 2025, falling from 12 to 7 incidents. This reduction, despite the month’s seasonal factors including dark evenings and Bonfire Night, suggests a possible stabilisation in community safety initiatives. Conversely, anti-social behaviour, drugs, and public order offences all increased by 100% compared to the previous month. For instance, anti-social behaviour in Hindhead (4 incidents) is 34% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000. The dominance of violent crime (43.8% of total incidents) contrasts with the UK’s higher proportion of property crimes, indicating a distinct local crime profile. Residents may find the 100% rise in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, though this category remains significantly below national levels. These shifts highlight the combination of seasonal activity and local policing priorities in shaping crime trends.

Hindhead's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 15.8% compared to October 2025, declining from 3.4 to 2.8 per 1,000 residents. This downward trend aligns with the area’s consistently low crime profile relative to the UK average, which stood at 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in November—a figure that reflects the small population of 5,671 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 354 residents, a statistic that contextualises the rarity of incidents within this built-up area. When viewed against the UK’s broader crime profile, Hindhead’s monthly exposure to crime remains significantly lower, with the area’s population size likely amplifying the impact of even minor fluctuations in reported incidents. This comparison underscores the effectiveness of local policing strategies in maintaining low crime levels despite seasonal pressures such as dark evenings and holiday-related activity.
