Bingley Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bingley's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 6.9 per 1,000 residents, 19.8% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This performance aligns with the area's character as a built-up district within Bradford, where crime rates historically remain lower than the national average due to its compact urban layout and proximity to natural attractions. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences (36.9% of total), a figure that, while higher than the UK average for this category (3.0 per 1,000), remains 14% below the national benchmark. Anti-social behaviour (15.9% of total) and public order offences (10.8% of total) followed, with the latter showing a 25% increase above the UK average (0.6 per 1,000). These patterns may be partially explained by the area's summer dynamics: with schools closed and tourism at its peak, public spaces see increased use, potentially contributing to higher public order incidents. However, the overall crime rate remains lower than the UK average, likely reflecting Bingley's relatively stable community environment and limited exposure to large-scale urban issues. Seasonal factors such as festivals and outdoor events in July may have influenced both the types and frequencies of reported crimes, though the area's consistent performance suggests effective local policing and community engagement strategies.

July 2025 saw a dramatic 125% increase in drug-related crimes, with incidents rising from 4 to 9. This surge, though still below the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), suggests emerging local patterns that may be linked to summer festivals or increased foot traffic in Bingley's retail areas. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 42.9% (7 to 4), a drop consistent with lower outdoor activity during peak summer months. The most common crime category, violence and sexual offences (36.9% of total), remained 14% below the UK average (3.0 per 1,000), a contrast to public order offences which rose 25% above the UK average (0.6 per 1,000). Theft from the person increased from 0 to 1, a 100% month-on-month jump that, while statistically significant, remains 100% below the UK average. These shifts illustrate a combination of seasonal factors and localised crime dynamics.

Bingley's crime rate in July 2025 dropped to 6.9 per 1,000 residents, a 7.0% decrease from June's 7.4 per 1,000. This follows a consistent seasonal pattern observed in built-up areas of Bradford, where crime rates typically decline during summer holidays when tourism peaks and local populations disperse. Daily crime figures for July averaged 5 incidents per day, aligning with historical trends in similar urban centres during peak tourist season. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for every 145 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in terms of population density. This ratio is lower than the UK average when scaled to Bingley's population of 22,761, reflecting the area's relatively low crime profile despite its proximity to larger urban hubs. The population-scaled perspective suggests that residents face a significantly lower risk of encountering crime compared to the national average, though localised spikes in specific categories like drugs and shoplifting warrant closer attention.
