Durrington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Durrington recorded 12 crimes across a population of 5,210 residents, translating to a crime rate of 2.3 per 1,000 individuals—68.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure, though low, provides a concrete context for understanding safety in the area: for every 434 residents, one crime was reported over the course of the month. The crime mix was dominated by property-related offences, with 6 out of 12 incidents classified as property crimes. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of total crimes, a significant drop from the previous month’s 14 cases, likely influenced by seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and the absence of major events typically associated with increased violent crime. The area’s low rate of violent crime—0.8 per 1,000—places it 69% below the UK average, a disparity that may reflect Durrington’s character as a small, semi-rural built-up area within Wiltshire, where limited nightlife and strong community ties could reduce opportunities for such offences. Meanwhile, property crimes such as burglary and shoplifting accounted for 33.3% of incidents, with burglary rising to 2 cases—33% above the UK average for that category. This suggests that while the overall crime profile remains subdued, targeted vulnerabilities in property security may persist. Seasonal context, including the timing of Bonfire Night and the onset of Black Friday shopping, may have influenced the types and frequency of crimes. The interplay between local demographics, geographical isolation, and seasonal rhythms likely shapes the area’s crime picture, which continues to diverge from national trends in both volume and composition.

November 2025 marked a stark contrast in crime trends, with violent crimes falling sharply by 71.4% compared to October, driven by a reduction in reported violence and sexual offences from 14 to 4. This decline may partly explain the overall drop in the crime rate, though property crimes remained relatively stable, with burglary and shoplifting each accounting for 16.7% of total incidents. Burglary saw a 100% increase from 0 to 2 cases, a rise that, while small in absolute terms, places the category 33% above the UK average. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour rose by 100%—a jump from 0 to 1 incident—highlighting a potential seasonal influence tied to Bonfire Night and the start of the festive shopping period. The area’s violent crime rate (0.8 per 1,000) remains 69% below the UK average, suggesting that local factors—such as community cohesion or limited nightlife activity—may contribute to this divergence.

November 2025 saw a 45.5% decrease in Durrington’s crime rate compared to the previous month, dropping from 4.2 to 2.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the area’s consistently low crime profile, though the monthly exposure figure—1 crime per 434 residents—still offers context for residents: over the course of November, the likelihood of encountering a reported crime was roughly 1 in 434. Daily crime counts for the month averaged just 0.4 crimes per day, a figure that, while statistically minimal, underscores the area’s relative safety compared to national averages. When scaled to the local population of 5,210, the low volume of crimes suggests that community-specific factors—such as strong local policing, lower population density, or seasonal dynamics—may contribute to the sustained suppression of criminal activity. The absence of a significant daily crime trend further supports the idea that Durrington’s crime patterns are not driven by transient spikes but by broader environmental or demographic characteristics.
