Yes, and by a wide margin. Crime runs at about a third of the Buckinghamshire rate. The neighbours are spread out along the river. Almost nobody is out of work. If the parish is gossiping about anything, it's more likely to be about hedges than burglaries.
Police records for the twelve months from June 2025 to May 2026 put crime in Greenlands at about 21 per 1,000 people, roughly 68% below the Buckinghamshire average. That comes to 51 recorded crimes over the year. The rate is the published figure for the statistical area around Greenlands, which uses a different population base from the resident headcount. It describes the area as a whole and says nothing about any particular street, so don't read it as a promise about one lane or one house.
The county figure itself is about 65 crimes per 1,000 people over the same period. Set against that, Greenlands' figure of about 21 isn't slightly below average. It belongs to a different league. Somewhere in Buckinghamshire the numbers are being made, and it isn't along this stretch of the Thames.
The rest of the neighbourhood's figures are what you'd expect from a place like that. Population density averages about 31 people per square kilometre, which in practice means fields, river and a long walk to the next front door. Unemployment is about 1%, and about 2% of households are overcrowded. None of that proves why crime is low. It describes the kind of place where it is: spacious, working and not short of room.
What happens after a crime is a separate question, and the answer comes from the police force, not from Greenlands. Thames Valley Police charges a suspect in about 9% of cases, against about 12% nationally, over the twelve months from June 2025 to May 2026. That puts the force 37th of 42 in England and Wales. About 37% of its cases closed with no suspect identified. These are force-wide figures covering a large area, and they measure how cases are resolved, not how safe any area is. Crime here is rare, but the force that handles it has one of the weaker charge rates in the country.
Safety is one of Greenlands' real strengths. The crime rate sits far below the county average, and the only realistic worry is what happens in the rare case that something does go wrong.
