Denmead Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Denmead’s November 2025 crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents sits 63% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, marking it as one of the safest built-up areas within Winchester. The breakdown reveals a stark imbalance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 50% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.3%) and criminal damage and arson (14.3%). This concentration of violent crime is consistent with Denmead’s character as a residential area with limited commercial activity, where community policing and low population density may contribute to the lower incidence of property-related crimes. Seasonal factors in November—such as shorter evenings and the absence of major festivals—likely played a role in the overall crime rate, though the exact causal link remains speculative. The area’s violent crime rate of 1.3 per 1,000 is 49% below the UK average, a statistic that reflects both local demographics and the effectiveness of local crime prevention strategies. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage also fall significantly below UK averages, suggesting that Denmead’s social fabric may be more cohesive than the national trend indicates. While the month’s data does not reveal a clear upward or downward trend compared to previous months, the low crime environment remains a defining feature of this area.

November 2025 saw a marked shift in crime patterns, with drugs-related incidents and 'other crime' both doubling from zero to one reported case each. This contrasts sharply with declines in anti-social behaviour (-60%) and criminal damage and arson (-50%), suggesting a reallocation of criminal activity. Violent crimes, comprising 50% of all incidents, remain 49% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a statistic that highlights Denmead’s continued safety in this category. The month-on-month drop in overall crime aligns with seasonal factors: Bonfire Night and Black Friday events, which typically draw crowds, may have been tempered by shorter evenings and reduced retail activity. Residents may find the 1-in-373 monthly crime exposure figure particularly reassuring, illustrating the rarity of incidents in this area.

Denmead's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 2.7 per 1,000 residents, a 46.2% drop from the previous month’s rate of 5.0 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns in the area, where reduced foot traffic and fewer evening events may contribute to lower crime levels. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 373 residents, illustrating a rarefied safety profile compared to national benchmarks. Daily crime figures show an average of 0 crimes per day, a stark contrast to the UK’s typically higher daily rates. This translates to a monthly exposure where residents face a 1-in-373 chance of experiencing a crime, a statistic that underscores the area’s consistently low crime environment. The population context further highlights that Denmead’s 5,222 residents experience fewer crimes proportionally than the UK average, reinforcing the area’s status as a secure built-up area within Winchester.
