Easebourne, Chichester: Safety
Safety
Easebourne is one of the quieter neighbourhoods around, with roughly 10 crimes per month in both 2024 and 2025. That's well below the UK average of 58 to 60 per month.
The difference is striking. Neighbouring areas like Goodwood and Midhurst saw 2 to 3 times more crime during the same period. Easebourne consistently stays at the lower end.
Crime levels have remained steady year on year — 123 incidents in 2024 and 119 in 2025. There's been a slight drop, but the overall picture is stable rather than improving.
If you're buying here, you're getting a low-crime neighbourhood with a proven track record.
