Bingley Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bingley’s crime profile in September 2025 reveals a striking balance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 39.3% of total incidents. This proportion is higher than the UK average for this category, which stands at 2.6 per 1,000. The area’s overall crime rate of 7.4 per 1,000 matches the UK average, reflecting a broad alignment with national trends despite local variations. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category at 13.1%, was 15% below the UK average, a figure that may be influenced by Bingley’s relatively compact built-up area and community-focused policing efforts. Vehicle crime, at 8.3% of total incidents, was 50% above the UK average, a statistic that could be linked to the town’s proximity to major transport routes and the influx of students during the back-to-school period. Seasonal factors such as the start of term and reduced daylight hours likely contributed to the higher proportion of violent crimes, as social interactions in public spaces may increase during this time. Conversely, the drop in shoplifting may reflect heightened retail security measures or a shift in consumer behaviour as the area transitions into autumn. These patterns illustrate how Bingley’s unique characteristics—its role as a commuter hub and its proximity to educational institutions—interact with broader seasonal cycles to shape the local crime profile.

September 2025 saw a sharp rise in burglary, with an 116.7% increase from 6 to 13 incidents. This spike contrasts with a 52.4% decline in shoplifting, which dropped from 21 to 10 cases. Vehicle crime also surged by 100%, doubling from 7 to 14 incidents, a figure significantly above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour decreased by 37.1%, from 35 to 22 cases, marking one of the most notable downward trends. The area’s violence and sexual offences rate (2.9 per 1,000) was 12% higher than the UK average, while anti-social behaviour was 15% lower. These shifts suggest a combination of seasonal factors and local dynamics, with increased foot traffic potentially driving vehicle crime and retail-related offences.

Bingley’s crime rate in September 2025 stood at 7.4 per 1,000 residents, a 5.6% decrease from the previous month’s 7.8 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a seasonal shift as the area transitions from summer to autumn, a period when community activity may moderate. On a daily basis, approximately 6 crimes were reported each day in September, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 135 residents, illustrating the relative frequency of incidents within the built-up area’s population of 22,761. When compared to the previous month, the drop in overall crime rate suggests a potential stabilisation in patterns, though specific categories like burglary and vehicle crime saw significant increases. This contrast highlights the importance of monitoring individual crime types to understand underlying trends.
