Eynsham Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Eynsham's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 2.6 per 1,000, a figure that is 66.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's generally low crime profile, which is consistent with its character as a small built-up area within West Oxfordshire. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences, accounting for 70.6% of the 17 total incidents reported. Other theft and anti-social behaviour each made up 11.8% of crimes, with the latter category showing a particularly sharp decline from the previous month. The seasonal context of April, marked by the Easter period and increased outdoor activity, may have influenced the types of crimes observed, though the overall rate remains exceptionally low. This pattern is likely shaped by Eynsham's rural surroundings and relatively small population, which may contribute to lower crime density compared to more densely populated areas. The dominance of violent crimes in the breakdown, however, suggests a need for targeted local initiatives, even as the area's overall performance continues to outperform national averages.

April 2025 saw notable reductions in key crime categories compared to March. Violence and sexual offences, which made up 70.6% of total crimes, decreased by 25% (from 16 to 12 incidents). This decline, while welcome, contrasts with the 27% gap between Eynsham's rate of 1.9 per 1,000 for these crimes and the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also fell sharply by 60%, dropping from 5 to 2 incidents, and criminal damage and arson plummeted by 83.3% (from 6 to 1). These reductions may partly explain the overall 59.5% drop in the area's crime rate compared to the previous month. The dominance of violent crimes in the breakdown highlights a specific focus area for local authorities, with 12 incidents in April alone. For residents, the 27% below UK average for violence and sexual offences offers a measure of reassurance, though the high proportion of these crimes warrants continued attention.

Eynsham's crime rate in April 2025 dropped to 2.6 per 1,000, a 59.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.5 per 1,000. This decline, while significant, is consistent with the area's historically low crime levels compared to the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day in April, a figure that reflects the small population of 6,475 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 381 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the local community. While this monthly exposure rate is far below the UK average, Eynsham's compact built-up area and rural surroundings likely contribute to its lower crime density. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even a single incident can have a noticeable impact on residents, underscoring the importance of local awareness and community policing efforts.
