Blaenau Gwent Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Blaenau Gwent’s November 2025 crime rate of 0.1 per 1,000 stands as one of the lowest recorded in recent years, placing it 98.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s enduring safety profile, which has consistently diverged from national trends. The crime breakdown reveals a balanced distribution between property and violent crimes, with both categories contributing equally to the total of four reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 50% of the recorded crimes, a figure that remains 100% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Similarly, other theft also fell 100% below the UK rate of 0.5 per 1,000. The seasonal context of November—characterised by events such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday—may have influenced local patterns, though the overall volume of crime remained minimal. This suggests that factors such as the area’s socio-economic characteristics, community engagement, or geographical isolation may play a role in maintaining such low rates. The absence of significant spikes in crime, even during periods of heightened activity, reinforces the area’s reputation as a low-risk environment for residents. However, the small number of incidents recorded means that any trends must be interpreted with caution, as statistical fluctuations can occur in such sparse data sets. The month’s data also highlights the importance of contextualising crime rates within the broader UK landscape, where Blaenau Gwent’s performance consistently outperforms national benchmarks. This combination of low crime figures and a balanced distribution between crime types underscores the area’s unique position within Wales’s broader crime profile.

November 2025 marked a notable shift in Blaenau Gwent’s crime profile, with both violence and sexual offences and other theft reporting a 100% increase compared to the previous month. Despite this rise, both categories remain well below their UK averages, with violence and sexual offences recorded at 0.0 per 1,000—100% below the national rate of 2.6 per 1,000. This suggests that while there were increases in specific categories, the overall volume of incidents remains negligible. The crime mix also shifted slightly, with property crimes and violent crimes each accounting for 50% of the total, indicating a balanced distribution between these two broad categories. For residents, the data shows that even with the month-on-month rise, the likelihood of encountering crime remains extremely low. The seasonal context of November—marked by events such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday—may have influenced these changes from the available statistics.

Blaenau Gwent's crime rate in November 2025 remains exceptionally low, with just four reported crimes over the month. This equates to roughly zero crimes per day, a figure that reflects the area's consistently low criminal activity compared to national trends. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 16,968 residents, illustrating the rarity of incidents within the local population. When contextualised against the area’s population of 67,873, this monthly exposure rate underscores the minimal risk faced by residents. While the data does not provide a UK-wide daily equivalent for comparison, the local figure highlights Blaenau Gwent’s position as a region with significantly lower crime rates than the national average. This low frequency of incidents is further reinforced by the fact that both the most common crime types—violence and sexual offences, and other theft—are recorded at 100% below their respective UK averages. Such a stark contrast suggests that the area’s unique socio-economic and geographical factors may contribute to this sustained safety profile, though these factors remain speculative without further data.
