Wargrave Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wargrave's crime rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents in November 2025 places it 78.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000 — a significant divergence that highlights the area's relatively low crime profile. The top crime categories include violence and sexual offences (40% of total), burglary (26.7%), and criminal damage and arson (13.3%), which collectively illustrate a mix of personal and property-related incidents. This pattern may reflect the area's character as a built-up part of Wokingham, where residential density and local amenities could influence crime dynamics. Seasonal factors in November — including extended darkness after sunset, Bonfire Night events, and Black Friday shopping — likely contribute to the elevated rates of violence and property crime. The UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000) is 73% higher than Wargrave's rate, suggesting the area's community resilience or effective local measures in curbing such incidents. However, the 33% above-UK-average burglary rate raises questions about targeted vulnerabilities, linked to property types or security practices. The low overall crime rate, despite these spikes, reinforces Wargrave's status as a safer-than-average area, though the month's data underscores the need for vigilance during high-risk periods.

Violence and sexual offences surged by 500% month-on-month, rising from 1 to 6 incidents — a stark shift that outpaces other categories. Burglary also saw a 300% increase, climbing from 1 to 4 cases, though this rate remains 33% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. Bicycle theft, which had not occurred in October, now stands at 0.1 per 1,000 — 67% above the UK average. The balance between property and violent crimes has shifted significantly, with property crimes (7) now slightly outnumbering violent crimes (6). This contrast is particularly striking given the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 for violence and sexual offences, which Wargrave's rate of 0.7 per 1,000 is 73% below. Residents should note that while overall crime remains low, the sharp rise in violent offences warrants awareness, particularly during dark evening hours associated with Bonfire Night.

Wargrave's November 2025 crime rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents marks a substantial rise from the previous month's 0.9 per 1,000 — an 87.4% increase. This shift, while notable, remains far below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Daily crime figures reveal an average of 0 reported crimes per day across the 30-day period, a statistic that contextualises the low-frequency nature of incidents in this built-up area. Over the course of the month, 1 crime occurred for roughly every 612 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the rarity of criminal activity relative to the local population. When scaled against Wargrave's 9,185 residents, this figure illustrates a level of safety that contrasts sharply with national trends. The area's compact size and likely mix of residential and commercial land use may contribute to this pattern, though the exact interplay of factors remains speculative without further data.
