Little Eriswell Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Little Eriswell’s crime rate in November 2025 remained at 0.3 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 95.9% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This continued anomaly reflects the area’s status as a small built-up community within West Suffolk, where the density of population and the limited presence of high-risk environments such as major transport hubs or commercial centres contribute to its exceptionally low crime profile. The most prevalent category of crime was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 100% of the total incidents reported in the month. While this category saw a 100% increase compared to the previous month, its rate remains significantly lower than the UK average. Seasonal factors, including the dark evenings typical of November and events such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday, may have played a role in shaping the crime profile, though the overall impact appears minimal given the area’s small size and low population density. The stability in the total crime rate suggests that no major external influences—such as economic downturns or demographic shifts—have disrupted the area’s pattern of minimal criminal activity. This consistency is further reinforced by the absence of other crime types, such as property-related offences, which are more commonly associated with urban centres. The low crime rate also aligns with broader trends observed in rural and semi-rural areas of the UK, where the combination of community cohesion and limited opportunities for crime contributes to a safer environment. However, the doubling of violence and sexual offences in November highlights the need for continued monitoring of this category, as even minor fluctuations in such incidents can have significant implications for local safety perceptions. The seasonal context of November, with its extended periods of darkness and the potential for increased social interactions during events like Bonfire Night, may have influenced the timing and nature of these incidents. Nonetheless, the overall picture remains one of a community that, despite the small but notable increase in one category, continues to maintain a crime rate far below national averages.

The most striking shift in November 2025 was the 100% increase in violence and sexual offences, which rose from 1 to 2 incidents. This category, while still vastly below the UK average (88% below at 0.3 per 1,000), marks the largest single-month change in the area’s crime profile. The absence of other crime types—such as property crimes or theft—suggests a narrow focus on interpersonal violence, a pattern that may reflect the small population and limited public spaces in Little Eriswell. The rate of violence and sexual offences in the area is 88% below the UK average, highlighting a stark contrast with national trends. For residents, the doubling of this category provides a concrete data point: while the overall risk remains minimal, the area’s unique characteristics—such as its small size and proximity to rural landscapes—may contribute to the concentrated nature of these incidents. This shift does not indicate a broader crime trend, as the total crime rate remains stable and exceptionally low.

Little Eriswell’s crime rate remained stable at 0.3 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, matching the previous month’s figure. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity, though the overall rate remains exceptionally low compared to national averages. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day over the month, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate means that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 3,184 residents—a statistic that translates to an extremely low probability of personal involvement in crime for any given resident. This aligns with Little Eriswell’s broader pattern of minimal criminal activity, which has historically been influenced by its relatively small population and the absence of high-risk environments such as dense urban centres or major transport hubs. The stability in crime rates also reflects the area’s limited exposure to factors typically associated with seasonal spikes, such as large gatherings or economic pressures.
