Queensbury Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Queensbury’s crime profile in August 2025 reveals a distinct mix of offences that diverges from the UK average. Violence and sexual offences dominate, accounting for 58.7% of all crimes reported, significantly higher than the national share of 32% for this category. This emphasis on violent crime contrasts with the UK average’s stronger focus on property-related offences. While the overall crime rate of 6.5 per 1,000 residents is 19.8% below the UK average, the area’s profile suggests a higher concentration of interpersonal violence. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.7 per 1,000, is 52% below the UK average, indicating a relatively lower prevalence of disruptive public conduct. Seasonal factors in August—such as increased tourism and the potential for empty homes during holidays—could contribute to higher burglary risks, though Queensbury’s burglary rate (0.4 per 1,000) is 48% above the UK average. This juxtaposition of elevated violent crime and lower property crime rates may reflect the area’s character as a built-up part of Bradford, where community dynamics and local infrastructure influence crime patterns. The relatively low overall rate, despite higher violent crime, suggests effective policing or social factors that mitigate broader crime trends.

August 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with theft from the person increasing by 100% (from 0 to 1) and drugs-related offences doubling (from 0 to 3). These rises contrast with a 70% decline in public order offences, which fell from 10 to 3. The crime mix reveals a stark contrast to the UK average, where violence and sexual offences in Queensbury (3.8 per 1,000) are 32% higher than the national rate of 2.9 per 1,000. Conversely, anti-social behaviour in the area is 52% below the UK average (0.7 vs 1.5 per 1,000). This disparity highlights the area’s unique profile, with higher rates of interpersonal violence but significantly lower levels of anti-social behaviour. Residents may find the 2 crimes per day figure useful for understanding local risk, though the overall rate remains well below national averages.

Queensbury's crime rate for August 2025 dropped by 14.8% compared to the previous month, falling from 7.6 to 6.5 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the area’s overall trend of being 19.8% below the UK average. Daily crime figures show 2 reported crimes per day, a rate that reflects the local context of a built-up area within Bradford. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 154 residents, a monthly aggregate that provides a clearer picture of risk exposure than daily fluctuations. The population of 11,568 residents means that each individual faces a relatively low likelihood of being directly affected, though localised patterns such as higher rates of violence and sexual offences may impact specific neighbourhoods or demographics. This monthly exposure figure underscores that while crime is present, it remains proportionally lower than national benchmarks, suggesting effective local policing or community factors may be at play.
