Little Eriswell Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In Little Eriswell, the crime rate for May 2025 stood at 0.2 per 1,000 residents — a figure 97.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s exceptionally low risk profile compared to national trends. The single reported crime in the month was a burglary, accounting for 100% of all recorded incidents. Such a low rate suggests that residents face minimal daily exposure to crime, with the likelihood of experiencing a crime being roughly one in 5,000 over the course of a year. Seasonal factors in May, including extended evenings and increased outdoor socialising, typically correlate with higher crime rates in similar built-up areas. However, Little Eriswell’s data shows no corresponding rise, possibly reflecting a combination of community vigilance, low population density, and effective local policing. The absence of other crime types — such as violence, theft from the person, or vehicle crime — further reinforces the area’s unique safety profile. While the UK average for burglary is 0.3 per 1,000, Little Eriswell’s rate of 0.2 per 1,000 is 29% below that, indicating a specific resilience against property crime. This could be attributed to factors such as secure housing stock, limited retail presence, or demographic characteristics that reduce vulnerability to burglary. The data underscores that, for residents, the everyday risk of encountering crime is negligible, even during periods of heightened social activity.

May 2025 saw a dramatic 74.6% decrease in Little Eriswell’s crime rate, falling from 0.6 per 1,000 in April to 0.2 per 1,000. This sharp decline places the area’s current rate 97.5% below the UK average, a gap that widened significantly over the past month. The crime mix also shifted markedly: burglary remained the sole category recorded, with no other crime types appearing in the breakdown. This contrasts with the UK average, where burglary accounts for just 3.5% of all crimes. The single burglary incident in May was 29% below the UK’s burglary rate of 0.3 per 1,000, suggesting either a rare occurrence or exceptionally effective prevention measures. For residents, the practical implication is clear: the likelihood of experiencing a burglary is extremely low, with only one such incident reported for every 5,000 residents in the area. This stands in stark contrast to the national average, where residents face a 1-in-3,300 chance of burglary annually. The absence of other crime types — such as violence or vehicle crime — further reinforces that Little Eriswell’s risk profile differs from typical urban centres, where property crime often coexists with other categories.

Little Eriswell’s crime rate in May 2025 (0.2 per 1,000) was 74.6% lower than the previous month’s rate of 0.6 per 1,000, reflecting a significant downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day — a figure that, while technically zero, highlights the extreme rarity of criminal activity in this built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 6,368 residents, meaning that the likelihood of encountering a crime was effectively 1 in 6,368 — a rate that dwarfs the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. When scaled to the local population, this translates to a monthly exposure that is 97.5% below the national benchmark. For a resident of Little Eriswell, the practical implication is that the chance of being directly affected by crime is minuscule compared to the UK average. This is particularly notable given that May typically sees increased socialising and longer evenings in built-up areas, which often correlate with higher crime rates. The area’s performance in this context suggests that factors such as community cohesion, low population density, or targeted local initiatives may be contributing to its safety profile. These figures reinforce that, for residents, the daily risk of encountering crime is negligible — a stark contrast to the average UK resident, who faces a much higher probability of being a victim.
