Euxton, Chorley: Safety
Safety
Euxton's crime rate sits well below the UK average. In 2024 and 2025, it recorded 47.6 and 52.6 crimes per 1,000 people respectively, compared to national figures of 91.6 and 88.6. That's a real difference — neighbouring Chorley North West saw over 200 crimes per 1,000 people in both years, making Euxton one of the quieter neighbourhoods around.
Anti-social behaviour is the most common crime type here, though it's still above the North West average. Vehicle crime and burglary are both low. So far in 2026, the rate has dropped further to 26.5 per 1,000 people, tracking below both the UK and North West averages for the same period.
What you're looking at is a neighbourhood with consistently low crime in a settled community.
