Stourport-on-Severn Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 18,755 residents, Stourport-on-Severn recorded 87 crimes in November 2025, translating to a crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 people. This figure is 37% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, placing the area among the safer built-up regions in England and Wales. The breakdown of incidents reveals a stark dominance of violent crime, with 42 cases of violence and sexual offences making up 48.3% of all reported crimes. This category, while showing a 10.5% month-on-month increase, remains 14% below the UK average, a discrepancy that may reflect the area’s relatively low population density and community-oriented policing strategies. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, accounted for 16.1% of all crimes, with a 26.3% decrease from October. This decline could be attributed to reduced social interactions during the darker evenings of November, a pattern consistent with smaller towns where community cohesion often deters such incidents. Seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday may have influenced the spikes in criminal damage and arson (up 50%) and vehicle crime (up 40%), though these categories remain aligned with or below UK averages. The overall crime profile of Stourport-on-Severn illustrates a balance between routine community challenges and the mitigating effects of local infrastructure, such as its proximity to Wyre Forest, which may limit opportunities for certain types of crime.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with criminal damage and arson rising by 50% (from 6 to 9 incidents) and vehicle crime increasing by 40% (from 5 to 7). These spikes may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which could have prompted more pyrotechnic-related incidents or property damage. Conversely, burglary dropped sharply by 83.3% (from 6 to 1), reflecting improved security measures or reduced opportunities during the month. Violence and sexual offences also increased by 10.5% (from 38 to 42), though this category remains 14% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour decreased by 26.3% (from 19 to 14), a trend that could indicate effective community interventions or lower foot traffic during the darker evenings of November. Other theft fell by 44.4% (from 9 to 5), suggesting that local retailers or residents may have adopted additional precautions during the Black Friday shopping period. These fluctuations illustrate the dynamic nature of crime in Stourport-on-Severn, where seasonal events and community initiatives appear to influence crime trends.

Stourport-on-Severn's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 4.6 per 1,000 residents, an 11.3% drop from the previous month’s 5.2 rate. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area’s monthly statistics, suggesting sustained efforts in community policing or seasonal factors influencing crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three crimes per day during November, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for roughly every 216 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK average. With a population of 18,755, this translates to a manageable number of incidents for a built-up area within Wyre Forest, where community cohesion and local engagement may play a role in maintaining lower crime levels. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Stourport-on-Severn remains significantly safer than the UK average, with its crime rate 37% below the national figure. This suggests that the area’s unique characteristics, such as its proximity to natural landscapes and smaller-scale community networks, may contribute to its lower crime exposure.
