Storrington & Washington, Horsham: Safety
Safety
Storrington & Washington is a safer neighbourhood than most of the UK. It recorded 53 crimes per 1,000 people in 2024 and 2025, compared to the national average of around 89 to 92.
Crime stayed consistent across both years, with 497 recorded crimes each year. That stability matters — it means you know what to expect day to day. Anti-social behaviour is also below the national average, which shows in how the community feels.
Nearby neighbourhoods don't fare as well. Arundel & Walberton had nearly double the crime rate in 2024.
Early figures for 2026 suggest crime levels are dropping further, though the year's not finished yet.
