Queensbury Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Queensbury, 6.7 crimes were reported in March 2025 — 14.1% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This rate translates to one crime occurring for roughly every 150 residents over the course of the month, a figure that may feel more tangible to locals when considering daily life. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 52% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (13%) and criminal damage (10.4%). This pattern aligns with the area's urban character, where public spaces and community hubs may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal disputes and property damage. The seasonal transition to spring, with longer evenings and clocks changing, may have influenced these trends — a period when increased foot traffic in commercial areas could exacerbate tensions. Violent crime rates in Queensbury (3.5 per 1,000) were 28% higher than the UK average (2.7 per 1,000), suggesting local factors such as social dynamics or policing strategies may play a role. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour rates were 28% below the UK average (1.2 per 1,000), a contrast that could reflect community engagement initiatives or effective local interventions. The data illustrates a built-up area within Bradford where public safety remains a priority, with crime patterns shaped by both seasonal rhythms and the urban environment.

March 2025 saw a dramatic 400% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 10 incidents — a shift that could signal heightened tensions during the transition to spring. This surge contrasts with a 7% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 43 to 40, though Queensbury's rate (3.5 per 1,000) remains 28% above the UK average. Vehicle crime also rose by 40%, increasing from 5 to 7 incidents, a trend that may relate to changing weather patterns affecting vehicle storage or increased traffic in residential areas. Meanwhile, 'other crime' — which includes minor incidents — dropped by 75%, from 4 to 1, though this category's low base figure (0.2 per 1,000 UK average) limits the significance of this change. The most striking UK comparison lies in criminal damage and arson, which in Queensbury (0.7 per 1,000) were 23% above the national average (0.6 per 1,000), a disparity that could reflect local issues such as vandalism in public spaces or property neglect. These fluctuations highlight the complexity of crime trends, with some categories showing sharp changes while others remain stable. For residents, the most immediate concern may be the spike in anti-social behaviour, which could impact daily life in shared spaces or community areas.

Queensbury's crime rate in March 2025 (6.7 per 1,000) was 5.5% higher than the previous month's rate (6.3 per 1,000).1% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 2 crimes per day in March, a figure that may feel more impactful when considered in the context of local demographics. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 150 residents — a statistic that provides a concrete sense of risk for those living or working in Queensbury. This rate is lower than the UK average, which could reflect effective local policing, community cohesion, or the area's urban characteristics that allow for more visible deterrence. The comparison to the previous month reveals a slight upward trend, though this must be weighed against broader seasonal factors such as the transition to spring, which may influence crime patterns through changes in weather, lighting, and social activity. For context, the UK's average daily crime rate is not provided, but Queensbury's figure of 2 crimes per day is a locally relevant metric that highlights the area's relative safety. These numbers, while modest, underscore the importance of continued monitoring, as even small changes in crime rates can have meaningful implications for residents' perceptions of safety.
