Yes, in the same ordinary way the rest of Hart is safe. Crime runs level with the district. Almost nobody is out of work. The thing most at risk is whatever is parked on the drive. Hook is quiet, but not crime-free.
Police figures put Hook's crime rate at about 46 recorded crimes per 1,000 residents in the year to May 2026. That covers 526 recorded crimes over the same twelve months. Both are published figures, and the rate sits about level with the local average rather than above or below it.
Across Hart as a whole, the rate over the same period was about 47 per 1,000. So Hook's 46 and the district's 47 are effectively the same number. Anyone expecting a leafy Hampshire village to come in far below its own district will be disappointed. Anyone expecting a hidden problem will be disappointed too.
The neighbourhood itself is calm on paper. There are about 2,900 people per square kilometre on average, which is suburban rather than cramped. Unemployment is about 2%, and only about 1% of households are overcrowded. That is the texture of an estate village with steady jobs and spare bedrooms. None of it explains crime on its own, but it describes the kind of place these figures come from.
The mix is mostly unremarkable. Violence and sexual offences make up about 38% of recorded crime in Hook, against about 35% nationally. It is the biggest category almost everywhere, and it covers everything from serious assault to common assault with no injury, so the headline sounds worse than the gap. Anti-social behaviour is about 13% here against 16% nationally, a little lower. Public order, other theft, and criminal damage and arson each sit at about 7%, close to their national shares. The one clear outlier is vehicle crime, at about 12% of the total against 5% nationally. In a village where the valuable thing is usually parked outside, that is where the attention goes. Lock it, and don't leave the laptop bag on the back seat as a display.
Reporting a crime and getting a result are two different things. Hampshire Constabulary charges a suspect in about 9% of cases, against about 12% nationally. That puts it 38th of 42 forces for charging. That is a force-wide figure over the year to May 2026, not a measure of Hook's streets, and it says nothing about how likely a crime is to happen here. It answers a different question: whether anyone gets charged afterwards. About 35% of the force's cases closed with no suspect identified. Anyone who assumes the car will turn up and someone will be charged should adjust expectations first.
Hook is middling on safety. It is as calm as its district, but no calmer, and the cars on the drive attract more attention than anything else.
