Little Eriswell Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

With a population of 6,368, Little Eriswell recorded only four crimes in June 2025, resulting in a crime rate of 0.6 per 1,000 residents. This figure is 92.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, placing the area in stark contrast to national trends. The breakdown of crimes reveals a balanced distribution across four categories, each contributing 25% of the total: vehicle crime, violence and sexual offences, other theft, and public order offences. This even distribution suggests a different dynamic than in larger urban areas, where property crimes typically dominate. Seasonal factors may play a role, as June marks the start of summer and the longest days of the year—conditions that often influence outdoor activity and, by extension, crime patterns. In many UK regions, summer months correlate with increased retail theft, public order incidents, and vehicle-related crimes, but Little Eriswell's data shows no such trend. Instead, the low volume of crimes suggests a community where criminal activity remains exceptionally rare, even during peak season. The area's built-up status within West Suffolk—a largely rural county—may contribute to this pattern, as smaller communities often see lower crime rates due to stronger social cohesion and fewer opportunities for certain types of offences. The absence of any single dominant crime type further indicates a low-level, scattered pattern rather than a concentrated issue. This aligns with the broader UK context where rural areas tend to have lower crime rates than urban centres, though Little Eriswell's performance is far more extreme. The data also highlights the importance of context: while the increase in crime from May to June is statistically significant, the absolute numbers remain so low that any single incident would stand out in a community of this size. This underscores the need to interpret crime statistics with care, particularly when comparing small areas to national averages.

June 2025 marked a notable shift in Little Eriswell's crime profile, with three categories seeing a 100% increase from May: vehicle crime, violence and sexual offences, and other theft. Each of these rose from zero incidents to one, reflecting a rare but clear uptick in activity. Despite this, all four crime types reported in June remain substantially below UK averages—vehicle crime is 46% below, violence is 93% below, and other theft is 61% below. The balance of crime types also shifted: property crimes (vehicle theft and other theft) accounted for 50% of total crimes, while violent crime made up 25%. This contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes dominate by a larger margin. For residents, the most immediate insight is that while crime has increased, it remains extremely rare in this area. A resident would have a 1-in-1,592 chance of being directly affected by a crime in June, a statistic that contextualises the scale of the rise.

Little Eriswell's crime rate in June 2025 rose sharply from 0.2 per 1,000 in May to 0.6 per 1,000, a 293.7% increase. This jump, while significant, still places the area 92.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly zero crimes per day over the 30-day period, reflecting an exceptionally low level of criminal activity. Monthly exposure calculations show that over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 1,592 residents—a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. For context, a population of 6,368 residents saw only four crimes reported, translating to a rate so low it would be unusual to witness any crime at all in a typical month. This contrast with national trends highlights the area's unique position as a place where crime remains a rare occurrence, even during the summer months when activity in other parts of the UK may rise.
