Cambridgeshire Constabulary recorded 174 crimes inside this ward's official boundary over the 3 months to July 2026 — an average of 6.2 per 1,000 residents a month, the 11th highest rate of Cambridge's 14 wards. The daytime score here is driven by shoplifting (3), bicycle theft (1), burglary (1); the evening/night score by violent crime (26), anti social behaviour (12), public order (2). Those two scores are split by offence type, not by clock time — the police feed records no time of day, so day and night here mean the kinds of crime typical of each, not counts of incidents observed then. Rated against the average of the city's own wards, never against another city.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cherry Hinton safe?
Wandroz currently rates Cherry Hinton in Cambridge as relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in Cambridge during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Cambridge at night. This rating is derived from Cambridgeshire Constabulary street-level crime records published at data.police.uk — an official statistic, not an assessment. High-footfall tourist, transit or shopping areas can read higher on this kind of measure without that meaning elevated risk per visit, since these statistics are normalised against registered residents rather than footfall — see the note on this page and the methodology page for the full caveats.
Is Cherry Hinton safe at night?
At night, Cherry Hinton is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Cambridge. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Cherry Hinton a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Cherry Hinton's day rating (relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in Cambridge) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Cambridge, not Cherry Hinton specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for Cherry Hinton?
Yes. Cherry Hinton's rating is derived from Cambridgeshire Constabulary street-level crime records published at data.police.uk, not an assessment — see the note on this page for the exact figure and the methodology page for full sourcing.
