Old Windsor and Wraysbury Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Old Windsor and Wraysbury’s crime rate in April 2025 remained remarkably low, at 3.2 per 1,000 residents—58.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This statistic underscores the area’s position as a safer built-up zone within Windsor and Maidenhead, a region historically characterized by low crime and strong community networks. The breakdown of crimes reveals a focus on property-related incidents, with 12 property crimes (52% of total) and 7 violent crimes (30% of total). Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, dropped significantly from March, while shoplifting and other thefts remained below UK averages. Seasonal factors may play a role: April’s spring weather and Easter period often correlate with increased outdoor activity, which can both deter crime through heightened visibility and, paradoxically, create opportunities for vehicle-related offences. The area’s low crime profile is consistent with its characteristics as a semi-rural commuter hub near Windsor Castle, where tourism and local governance likely contribute to crime prevention. However, the 300% increase in vehicle crime highlights a potential gap in local security measures, particularly as the area’s proximity to major roads and its appeal to seasonal visitors may drive this trend. Overall, the data illustrates a balance between sustained safety and emerging challenges that require targeted attention.

April 2025 saw a marked reduction in violent crimes, with violence and sexual offences decreasing by 46.2% compared to March. This drop, from 13 to 7 incidents, is likely tied to the Easter holiday period, which typically sees reduced nightlife activity and community events. Conversely, vehicle crime spiked by 300%, rising from one to four incidents—a jump that may reflect increased car ownership or seasonal travel patterns. The area’s vehicle crime rate of 0.6 per 1,000 (17.4% of total crimes) was 58% above the UK average, suggesting a unique vulnerability in this category that warrants further local analysis. Anti-social behaviour also fell sharply, down 75% from four to one incident, a trend consistent with the area’s low population density and strong community ties. Meanwhile, drugs-related crimes doubled from zero to one, a small but notable increase that could indicate shifting patterns in illicit activity during the spring months.

Old Windsor and Wraysbury’s crime rate in April 2025 stood at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, a 25.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.3 per 1,000. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns typically observed in spring, when outdoor activity shifts and community engagement increases. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the month, a figure that reflects the relatively low volume of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the population of 7,224, the monthly exposure rate means that one reported crime occurred for every 314 residents—a statistic that underscores the area’s overall safety compared to national benchmarks. While the daily crime count is a local metric with no UK-wide equivalent, the monthly exposure figure provides context for residents: over the course of April, the likelihood of encountering a crime was significantly lower than in areas with higher rates. This contrast highlights the effectiveness of local policing strategies and the area’s inherent characteristics, such as its proximity to Windsor’s historic sites, which may contribute to lower crime through tourism-driven community oversight.
