Queensbury Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Queensbury’s crime rate in September 2025 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a 25.7% deficit compared to the UK average of 7.4. This figure, while relatively low for a built-up area within Bradford, reflects a combination of seasonal and demographic factors. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 46.9% of all reported incidents, followed by public order offences (15.6%) and other crimes (7.8%). These patterns align with the area’s role as a commuter hub and its proximity to educational institutions, which may contribute to higher rates of public order issues during the start of the academic year. The seasonal context of September—marked by back-to-school activities and the transition from summer to autumn—likely influenced the crime mix, with public order offences surging as social interactions in public spaces increased. The rate of violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000) was marginally above the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), though this was offset by significantly lower rates in other categories. For instance, anti-social behaviour was 66% below the UK average, and burglary was 29% below, suggesting that the area’s infrastructure or community engagement initiatives may play a role in mitigating property crimes. The overall crime rate, however, remains a point of contrast against the UK average, indicating that Queensbury’s built-up area operates within a distinct microcosm of crime dynamics. This stability, despite the sharp rise in public order offences, highlights the need for targeted interventions that address seasonal spikes without undermining the area’s broader safety profile.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in September 2025 was the 233.3% increase in public order offences, rising from three to ten incidents. This jump, which outpaced all other categories, occurred despite a 60% drop in burglary and a 50% decrease in anti-social behaviour. The surge in public order crimes—now accounting for 15.6% of total offences—suggests a shift in the crime mix, with 67% more such incidents than the UK average. This anomaly may be linked to the start of the academic year, as back-to-school activities and university freshers’ week often coincide with heightened social interactions in public spaces. Meanwhile, shoplifting saw a 100% increase from zero to one incident, though it remains well below the UK average (84% lower). Violent crimes, the largest category (46.9% of total), were slightly above the UK average (1% higher), but the overall rate of 2.6 per 1,000 remains stable compared to previous months. Residents may find the 60% drop in burglary particularly notable, as it aligns with a 29% UK-wide deficit in this category.

Queensbury's crime rate in September 2025 dropped by 14.7% compared to the previous month, falling from 6.5 to 5.5 crimes per 1,000 residents. This decline places the area 25.7% below the UK average, a consistent position for the built-up area within Bradford. Locally, the monthly total of 64 crimes equates to approximately two crimes reported each day, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low overall crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 181 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area’s comparative safety. This statistic, while not directly comparable to national figures, provides a tangible sense of risk for residents. The drop in crime appears to align with seasonal patterns, as September marks the transition from summer activities to quieter autumn routines. The reduction in anti-social behaviour and burglary—both down by over 50%—may partly explain the broader decline from the data alone.
