Baildon Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Baildon’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 6.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 24.7% below the UK average of 8.1. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 39.2% of all crimes (38 incidents), a rate of 2.4 per 1,000 — 16% below the UK average for this category. This stark contrast to the national trend highlights the area’s unique profile. As a built-up area within Bradford, Baildon’s mix of residential and retail spaces may contribute to the prominence of violent crime, though the rate remains significantly lower than the UK norm. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 20.6% of total crimes (20 incidents) at 1.3 per 1,000, 8% below the UK average. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer, likely influences patterns: longer daylight hours may deter some crimes while increasing foot traffic in local businesses and public spaces. However, the data shows no clear spike in shoplifting or vehicle crime, which are typically associated with summer tourism. Instead, public order offences dropped by half compared to May, suggesting a possible shift in community dynamics during the warmer months. This suggests that while Baildon’s overall crime rate remains low, the nature of its crime profile diverges from the UK average in ways that warrant closer examination.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends. Shoplifting increased by 66.7% (3 to 5 incidents), though this remains 52% below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour rose sharply by 53.8% (13 to 20), potentially linked to summer social activity, yet still 8% below the UK rate. Conversely, public order offences fell by 50.0% (14 to 7), possibly reflecting reduced incidents of alcohol-fuelled disputes during the longer evenings. Burglary decreased by 44.4% (9 to 5), maintaining a rate of 0.3 per 1,000 — 7% above the UK average. This anomaly may indicate a concentration of residential properties in the area that are more susceptible to targeted burglary, despite the overall decline. Meanwhile, vehicle crime dropped 42.9% (7 to 4), aligning with the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. A resident might note that the drop in public order offences could signal improved community engagement during the summer months, though the rise in anti-social behaviour suggests ongoing challenges in managing public spaces. These fluctuations highlight the combination of seasonal factors and local policing efforts.

Baildon’s crime rate in June 2025 fell by 20.6% from the previous month’s rate of 7.7 per 1,000, marking a significant decline. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 3 crimes per day — a figure that, while modest, reflects the persistent presence of crime in a densely populated built-up area. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for every 164 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than many urban centres. With a population of 15,916, this translates to a manageable level of risk for residents. gap from the UK average suggests structural differences in Baildon’s social fabric. The area’s lower rates of property crime — particularly shoplifting and vehicle crime — may be attributed to its compact layout and the absence of major retail hubs that typically drive such offences. However, the slight elevation in burglary (7% above the UK average) hints at vulnerabilities in residential security that could be addressed through targeted initiatives. This comparative analysis underscores Baildon’s position as a relatively safe built-up area within Bradford, where community cohesion and local policing appear to mitigate broader national trends.
