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

For every 1,000 residents in Stourport-on-Severn, 5.2 crimes were reported in October 2025, placing the area 32.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure translates to a per-capita risk that is significantly lower than national benchmarks, with violent and sexual offences accounting for 38.8% of all incidents. The area’s crime profile in October reflects a mix of seasonal influences and local characteristics: as a built-up area within Wyre Forest, it likely experiences fluctuations tied to local events and weather. The dominance of violent crimes—38 in total—suggests a focus on interpersonal conflicts or targeted incidents, though these remain below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, at 19 cases, and other theft, with 9 reports, form the next most common categories. The seasonal context of October, including darker evenings and Halloween, may have influenced patterns of anti-social behaviour and public disorder, though the sharp decline in public order offences compared to September indicates a possible shift in community dynamics. The relatively low levels of property crimes, such as burglary (6 cases) and vehicle crime (5 cases), contrast with higher rates of violent crime, a pattern consistent with smaller urban centres where interpersonal crime often outweighs theft. This profile underscores the importance of localised factors in shaping crime trends, even within broader national contexts.

October 2025 saw a 100% increase in robberies, burglaries, and drug-related crimes compared to the previous month, though these categories remain below UK averages. Anti-social behaviour, which accounted for nearly 20% of all crimes, fell by 42.4%, a significant drop that may reflect heightened community engagement or seasonal changes in public activity. Violence and sexual offences, the most common crime category, remained 25% below the UK average at 2.0 per 1,000 residents. Shoplifting incidents were 52% below the UK average, suggesting that local retail environments may be particularly effective in deterring such crimes. The sharp decline in public order offences—down 75% from September—could indicate a reduction in alcohol-related incidents during October, linked to the start of the school term or changes in local event calendars. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of crime patterns, even within a relatively stable overall rate.

In October 2025, Stourport-on-Severn recorded a crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a 17.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.3. This decline positions the area as safer compared to its own recent performance. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately three crimes reported each day, a figure that translates to a manageable frequency for residents. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for roughly every 191 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low risk faced by individuals in the community. When considering the population of 18,755, this rate suggests that the majority of residents are unlikely to experience crime directly. The drop in crime may partly reflect seasonal factors, such as the transition from autumn to winter, which can influence patterns of outdoor activity and social interaction. However, the consistency of this trend with broader regional data remains an area for further observation.
