Saxilby Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 6,160 residents, Saxilby recorded 16 crimes in November 2024, equating to a crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 people. This figure is 65.8% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, highlighting a safer profile compared to national trends. The crime mix shows a distinct pattern: violence and sexual offences (7 cases) made up 43.8% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (3 cases) at 18.8%, and burglary (2 cases) at 12.5%. These figures align with the area's character as a small built-up community within West Lindsey, where social interactions and local dynamics may shape crime patterns. Seasonal factors in November—such as the darkening evenings, Bonfire Night celebrations, and Black Friday shopping—likely influence crime types. For instance, the prominence of violence and sexual offences could reflect increased social activity during evenings, while anti-social behaviour may be linked to community events or local tensions. Property crimes, though lower overall, saw a 100% increase in burglary and criminal damage, tied to seasonal property-related incidents. The relatively low crime rate suggests strong community cohesion or effective local policing, though further analysis would be needed to confirm these hypotheses.

November 2024 saw significant shifts in Saxilby's crime profile. Burglary and criminal damage and arson both increased by 100% compared to the previous month, rising from one to two incidents each. This spike contrasts with a 12.5% decline in violence and sexual offences (from 8 to 7) and a 25% reduction in anti-social behaviour (from 4 to 3). The crime mix also revealed stark UK comparisons: violence and sexual offences in Saxilby were 57% below the national average, while anti-social behaviour was 55% below. Burglary in Saxilby remained 3% below the UK average, despite the increase, and vehicle crime was 55% below the national rate. These figures suggest a localised pattern where property crime, though rising, remains significantly lower than national levels, possibly due to factors like lower population density or community vigilance. Residents might find the 100% increase in burglary particularly concerning, as it represents a doubling of incidents in a short period. However, the broader context of Saxilby's crime rate being 65.8% below the UK average indicates that such spikes are relatively rare in this area.

Saxilby's crime rate in November 2024 (2.6 per 1,000) represents a 5.8% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.8 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but consistent trend towards lower crime levels. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, could be of interest to residents concerned about local safety. When scaled to Saxilby's population of 6,160, this translates to one reported crime for every 385 residents over the course of the month—a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area's relatively low risk profile. Comparing this to the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, Saxilby's crime rate remains 65.8% below national levels, a disparity that may be attributed to factors such as the area's smaller population, rural-adjacent location, or community-specific initiatives. The 1-in-385 monthly exposure rate is particularly noteworthy for residents, as it illustrates that the likelihood of experiencing a crime in Saxilby is significantly lower than in many other parts of the country. This context helps frame the recent increases in burglary and criminal damage as isolated incidents rather than indicative of a broader trend, reinforcing the area's overall safety compared to national benchmarks.
