Weybourne (Waverley) Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Weybourne (Waverley), the crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 in October 2025 translates to a daily risk that is exceptionally low compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, which is 55.8% below the national benchmark, suggests that the area’s safety profile is robust, even as seasonal factors like darker evenings and the approach of Halloween may influence crime patterns. The breakdown of crimes shows that violence and sexual offences accounted for 40% of the total, followed by anti-social behaviour and public order offences at 12.5% each. These categories, while significant locally, remain well below the UK averages for their respective types—violence and sexual offences are 47% below, anti-social behaviour 68% below, and public order 25% below. The seasonal context of October, with its shorter daylight hours and the Halloween-related activities, may contribute to the prominence of violent crimes. The area’s crime picture is further shaped by its likely character as a built-up area within a rural or semi-rural region, where the density of population and the presence of local amenities may influence the distribution of crime types. While property crimes (12 incidents) and violent crimes (16 incidents) accounted for the majority of the 40 reported incidents, the absence of significant spikes in categories like burglary or theft from the person indicates that the area’s security measures and community dynamics are likely effective in mitigating such risks. This combination of low overall rates, specific underperformance in key categories, and the influence of seasonal factors illustrates a community that, despite small fluctuations, maintains a strong safety record.

October 2025 marked a 100% increase in vehicle crime, other theft, and bicycle theft compared to the previous month, with all three categories moving from zero to 4, 2, and 1 incidents respectively. This surge, while notable, is still well below the UK average for vehicle crime (0.4 per 1,000) and bicycle theft (0.1 per 1,000). The crime mix shifted slightly, with violence and sexual offences (16 incidents) making up the largest share at 40% of total crimes, a category that remains 47% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also showed marked underperformance relative to the UK, with the former 68% below and the latter 25% below the national rates. These figures suggest that while specific local factors may have influenced the rise in certain categories, the overall crime profile remains markedly safer than the UK average, particularly in violent crime and anti-social behaviour.

Weybourne (Waverley) saw a 21.2% increase in its crime rate from 2.8 to 3.4 per 1,000 residents in October 2025. Despite this rise, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, which stands at 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the course of the month—a figure that underscores the low frequency of incidents for residents. When viewed through a monthly lens, the data reveals that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 292 residents, a statistic that contextualises the risk in relatable terms. This monthly exposure rate, while showing a slight upward trend, remains far below the national average. The population of 11,678 further highlights the scale of the area’s crime picture: even with the increase, the absolute number of crimes (40) remains modest. This suggests that while local factors may have contributed to the rise, the overall safety profile of Weybourne (Waverley) remains strong compared to the UK as a whole.
