Andover St Mary's, Test Valley: Safety
Safety
Crime levels in Andover St Mary's are higher than the UK average, but they've stayed fairly steady over the past two years. That's a sign things are stable rather than getting worse.
In 2024 and 2025, the neighbourhood saw around 111 crimes per month on average. The UK average sits at roughly 60, so there's a real gap. Nearby areas like Harewood and Anna have considerably lower figures, though they're different types of neighbourhood.
The 2026 data so far shows around 68 crimes per month on average, which is closer to the UK average of 28 for the same period. It's still early in the year though, so those figures aren't directly comparable yet.
