Orrell Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 21,712, Orrell recorded 51 crimes in November 2025 — an average of two incidents per day. This equates to a crime rate of 2.4 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 67.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (19 incidents, 37.3% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (13 cases, 25.5%) and burglary (5, 9.8%). Seasonal factors, including Bonfire Night and the retail rush of Black Friday, likely influenced these patterns. The rise in violent crime may reflect increased social interactions during the month, while the lower-than-average rates for property crime suggest strong community measures or effective policing. Despite the overall increase from October, Orrell's crime profile remains markedly safer than the national average, with only one category — 'other crime' — exceeding the UK benchmark by 25%. The contrast between Orrell's low burglary rate (0.2 per 1,000) and the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000 highlights the area's success in preventing property-related offences, possibly due to its compact built-up nature and local initiatives. As November's shorter days and seasonal events continue to shape activity, the focus will remain on sustaining this lower-than-average trend while addressing the specific increases in violent and property crimes.

November saw a dramatic rise in burglary, with incidents surging from one to five — a 400% increase. Other crime and vehicle crime also more than doubled, reflecting potential vulnerabilities in property security and transport infrastructure. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 37.3% of all reported crimes, though the area's rate for this category is 65% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, at 25.5% of the total, is also 43% below the national benchmark. The surge in burglary and vehicle crime may partly explain the overall rate increase, with local factors such as increased foot traffic during Black Friday shopping and darker evenings potentially contributing to the shift. These figures highlight areas where community engagement and targeted policing could help address emerging trends.

In November 2025, Orrell's crime rate rose to 2.4 per 1,000 residents, a 64.3% increase from the previous month's 1.4 per 1,000. This brings the monthly total to 51 crimes, equivalent to roughly two incidents per day across the built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 426 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of crime in a community of 21,712 people. While this rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, the month-on-month surge suggests a shift in local patterns. The daily crime count highlights the need for ongoing vigilance, particularly as seasonal factors like Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping may influence activity. These figures, when compared to the broader UK context, underscore Orrell's relatively safe environment despite the recent uptick.
