Abertillery Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Abertillery’s crime rate of 0.1 per 1,000 residents placed it 98.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure translates to an extremely low per-capita risk, with only one reported crime across the area’s population of 15,476 residents. The single incident—a theft categorized as 'other theft'—was 80% below the UK average for that crime type, which stands at 0.5 per 1,000. The absence of violent crime in the data further distinguishes this area from many UK locales, where violence often dominates crime statistics. Seasonal factors like Bonfire Night and Black Friday typically correlate with spikes in theft-related incidents, yet Abertillery’s record suggests either robust local deterrents or a demographic profile that minimizes such risks. The area’s built-up nature within Blaenau Gwent, a rural district, likely contributes to this pattern, as low population density and limited commercial activity can reduce opportunities for certain crimes. The dominance of property crime in the data, with no violent or public order offences recorded, may reflect the community’s characteristics, including a strong sense of social cohesion or effective policing strategies. This month’s figures underscore the importance of contextual factors in shaping crime patterns, with Abertillery’s unique profile offering a contrast to more densely populated areas where crime rates are often higher. The data also highlights the need for careful interpretation of seasonal trends, as events like Black Friday might be expected to influence crime rates in retail-heavy areas, yet Abertillery’s record shows no such increase, due to its limited commercial infrastructure.

The crime mix in November 2025 was entirely property-related, with no violent crimes reported. This stark contrast to the UK average, where violence constitutes a significant portion of crime, highlights a unique local dynamic. The single recorded crime—other theft—was 80% below the UK average for that category, a figure that suggests either effective local deterrents or a demographic profile less prone to such incidents. This month’s data also shows a complete absence of vehicle crime, which is typically common in areas with commuter traffic or high vehicle density. The lack of incidents during high-traffic periods like Black Friday and Bonfire Night indicates that local factors, such as community engagement or environmental design, may be playing a role in crime prevention. For residents, the most concrete takeaway is that the risk of encountering theft is exceptionally low, with no reported incidents in over 15,000 households.

In November 2025, Abertillery recorded just one reported crime over the course of the month, equating to a daily average of 0 crimes per day. This figure highlights a level of security that is exceptionally rare in the UK, where the average daily crime rate is significantly higher. When considering the population-scaled perspective, the single crime occurred for roughly every 15,476 residents, a statistic that translates to an extremely low probability of encountering crime in daily life. This monthly exposure rate is a stark contrast to larger urban areas where crime is more densely distributed. The absence of violent crimes in this month’s data further underscores the area’s unique profile, with property crimes being the sole category recorded. This may reflect the community’s characteristics, where low population density and limited commercial activity contribute to a crime environment that differs from more densely populated regions. The data suggests that even during events like Bonfire Night and Black Friday, which typically see spikes in theft-related incidents, the area’s crime prevention measures or demographic factors may mitigate risk.
