Strensall Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Strensall in November 2025 reveals a strikingly low overall rate of 1.3 crimes per 1,000 residents, placing the area 82.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends highlights the area’s unique characteristics. The breakdown shows a clear dominance of violent and sexual offences, which account for 57.1% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (28.6%) and public order offences (14.3%). These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal conflicts and community disruptions rather than property-related crime, which is absent from the top categories. Seasonal factors may influence this pattern, as November brings darker evenings, Bonfire Night events, and the retail rush of Black Friday shopping—conditions that can heighten tensions in residential and commercial areas. While the low overall rate is consistent with Strensall’s status as a built-up area within York, the concentration of violent crimes raises questions about local dynamics. The area’s proximity to York’s urban core and its mix of residential and retail spaces may contribute to this profile. The UK-wide average for violent crimes is 2.6 per 1,000, and Strensall’s rate of 0.8 per 1,000 is 69% below that, underscoring a marked safety advantage in this category. This suggests that, despite the sharp rise in violent crimes compared to the previous month, the area remains significantly safer than most parts of the UK. The absence of property crime in the top three categories further differentiates Strensall from other regions where burglary or vehicle theft often dominate. This mix of crime types may reflect the area’s relatively low population density and strong community policing efforts.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in violent and sexual offences, rising from 1 to 4 incidents. This sharp rise, while significant, still leaves the area’s rate of 0.8 per 1,000 residents 69% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The crime mix in Strensall differs markedly from the national profile, with no property-related offences in the top three categories—unlike the UK, where burglary and vehicle crime frequently dominate. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.4 per 1,000, is 62% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000, suggesting that while community disruptions occur, they are less frequent than in most parts of the country. Public order offences.2 per 1,000, are still 57% below the UK rate of 0.5 per 1,000, indicating a lower incidence of disturbances in public spaces. A resident might find the low rate of property crime particularly reassuring, as it implies that theft from vehicles or homes is not a pressing concern in Strensall. The sharp increase in violent crimes, however, could be linked to seasonal factors such as the darker evenings of November and the heightened activity around Bonfire Night. While this rise is notable, the overall crime rate remains exceptionally low, reflecting the area’s broader safety profile.

Strensall’s crime rate in November 2025 (1.3 per 1,000) represents a 41.1% increase from the previous month’s rate of 1.0 per 1,000. This upward trend, though modest in absolute terms, is tempered by the area’s continued position well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while seemingly negligible, reflects the small population of 5,241 residents. Monthly exposure calculations show that over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 749 residents—a ratio that is exceptionally low compared to the UK average, where the equivalent figure would be significantly higher. This means that, for someone living in Strensall, the likelihood of experiencing a crime is far lower than in most other parts of the country. The population-scaled perspective further highlights the area’s safety: with only 7 total crimes reported in November, the per-capita risk is minimal. This low density of crime, even with the recent increase in violent offences, suggests that the area’s overall environment remains conducive to safety. While the 41.1% month-on-month rise in the crime rate is the highest recorded in recent months, the absolute numbers remain so low that the impact on residents is likely to be minimal. The combination of a small population and a crime rate that is 82.2% below the UK average underscores Strensall’s position as one of the safest built-up areas within York.
