Yes, and comfortably so. Crime runs about a quarter below the Woking average. Unemployment is close to nil. The offence mix looks like everywhere else, only smaller. Anyone who arrives braced for trouble will spend most of their vigilance on the parking.
In the year from June 2025 to May 2026, police recorded 2,210 crimes across the area, and the published crime rate works out at about 55 per 1,000 residents. That sits roughly 26% below the average for the Woking local authority. Those are published figures for the whole area over a full year, so they tell you the level, not what happens on any particular street.
Put the two rates side by side and the gap stops being abstract. The area's own rate is about 55 per 1,000. Woking as a whole runs at about 75 per 1,000. The borough is not a crime hotspot either, which makes landing well under its average a stronger result than it sounds.
The neighbourhood producing these numbers is suburban rather than sparse. Population density averages about 3,400 people per square kilometre, which is built-up enough to have neighbours on every side and a bus stop within reach. Unemployment sits at about 2%, and about 3% of households are overcrowded. These describe the texture of the place, a settled, working, mostly roomy suburb, and are not offered as the reason for anything.
The mix of offences is almost a carbon copy of the national one. Violence and sexual offences make up about 35% of recorded crime here, against about 35% across England and Wales, and that category is a broad legal grouping that includes common assault without injury, which is why it tops the list almost everywhere. Anti-social behaviour accounts for about 18%, against 16% nationally. Other theft is about 9% against 7%, public order about 8% against 7%, criminal damage and arson about 8% against 7%, and vehicle crime 5% against 5%. Nothing here stands out as a local speciality, which is the most reassuring thing a crime mix can say.
What happens after a report is a separate question, and the answer comes from the force rather than the neighbourhood. Surrey Police charges a suspect in about 11% of cases, against about 12% nationally, over the year to May 2026, which places it 30th of 42 forces. About 36% of cases are closed with no suspect identified. That is a force-wide statistic covering the whole county, and it says nothing about how safe these particular streets are. It does say that if your bike goes, the more realistic hope is the insurance claim, not the court date.
Safety is one of this area's real strengths: low crime by the standards of an already calm borough, and nothing in the mix that should keep a buyer up at night.
