Wing is a safe village, and its crime rate is well below the county's. Recorded crime runs roughly a third under the Buckinghamshire average. Unemployment is low. Overcrowded homes are rare. The worst of what happens here comes in small numbers, and the averages look worse than the village does.
Police.uk publishes Wing's crime rate as 46 per 1,000 people for June 2025 to May 2026, roughly 30% below the average for Buckinghamshire. That year's total was 137 recorded crimes. Both figures are published as they stand, and the rate is calculated on the police's own statistical-area population, so it won't match a sum done on the back of a parish newsletter.
Across Buckinghamshire as a whole the published rate is about 65 per 1,000, against Wing's 46. The county includes its bigger towns, and Wing sits comfortably under the line they set.
The village is fairly compact. Its neighbourhoods average about 2,330 people per square kilometre, unemployment is around 2%, and about 1% of households are overcrowded. That describes a place where most people have work, room, and neighbours who notice a strange van. The most heavily fortified thing in Wing is the Norman motte on Castle Hill, and it has not been needed for some time.
Police.uk splits the year's crimes into categories, and with 137 in total, a handful of incidents can move any share by several points. Violence and sexual offences make up about 56% of Wing's recorded crime, against about 35% across England and Wales. That category is broad, covering everything up to and including common assault without injury, and it is the largest category almost everywhere. Anti-social behaviour is about 8% here against 16% nationally, and vehicle crime about 7% against 5%. Public order and criminal damage are each about 7%, close to the national shares of 7%. Other theft is about 4% against 7%. With a total this small, those shares describe one year's case files and could look different next year. A drop in anti-social behaviour is the kind of thing a village notices more than any police chart does.
Thames Valley Police covers Wing, and it charges a suspect in about 9% of cases, against about 12% nationally. That puts the force 37th of 42 in England and Wales. Across the force, about 37% of cases close with no suspect identified. These are force-wide figures that say what happens after a crime is reported, and they say nothing about how often crime happens in Wing. For a buyer the useful number is the one further up, because it decides how rarely you will be looking up the force's record at all. If you want to see what is recorded near a specific house, police.uk maps each month's crimes to approximate locations.
Safety is one of Wing's real strengths. Crime here is rare enough that the county average does most of the worrying for it.
