Ebbsfleet Valley is about as safe as the rest of the Dartford borough. Its crime rate runs slightly above the borough's. Violence takes a smaller share than it does nationally. Vehicle crime and shoplifting take a slightly larger one. For a new town where much of the building work is still going on, those are ordinary numbers.
Police recorded 842 crimes in Ebbsfleet Valley in the year to May 2026, a published rate of about 125 per 1,000 residents. That is roughly 6% above the Dartford average. The gap is small enough that a handful of incidents either way would change which side of the line the valley falls on.
Across the Dartford borough as a whole, the published rate over the same year was about 117 per 1,000, against Ebbsfleet Valley's 125. The two figures are close. Above average for Dartford is a narrower statement than "above average" sounds when it is said without the borough.
The valley is built tightly, with about 4,560 people per square kilometre on average. Unemployment is about 3% and about 4% of households are overcrowded. None of that explains the crime figure, but it describes a dense, young, mostly working population, and nothing here suggests a struggling one.
Violence and sexual offences, the largest category almost everywhere, made up about 31% of crime here, against about 35% nationally. It is a broad legal grouping that includes common assault without injury, and here it is below the national share. Anti-social behaviour took about 19%, against 16% nationally, and shoplifting about 10%, against 8%. Criminal damage and arson took about 9%, against 7%. Vehicle crime took about 8%, against 5% nationally, the clearest gap of the lot, so a garage or a lit driveway is worth more here than a fancy alarm sticker. Other theft took 7%, the same as nationally. The crime here leans slightly towards the petty and the parked, and slightly away from the violent.
Kent Police charged a suspect in about 16% of cases in the year to May 2026, against about 12% nationally, which put it 6th of 42 forces. That is a figure for the whole force, and it measures what happens after a report. It says nothing about how often crimes happen in the valley. About 36% of cases across Kent were closed with no suspect identified. The street-by-street picture is on the police's online crime map, and the shared parking courts on the street you are considering are worth looking up there.
Ebbsfleet Valley is about averagely safe, level with its borough for practical purposes. The crime it does have is mostly the kind that dents a car rather than a person.
