Silsden Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Silsden’s October 2025 crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents, 40.3% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, reflects a combination of local and national trends. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 60% of all reported incidents, with a rate of 2.7 per 1,000—exactly matching the UK average. This consistency with national figures may be linked to the area’s built-up character within Bradford, where higher population density and social interactions could contribute to such rates. Public order offences, while a smaller proportion of total crimes (15%), saw a dramatic 500% increase compared to September, rising from one to six incidents. This surge may be tied to seasonal factors such as darker evenings and the timing of Halloween, which often brings increased foot traffic and social gatherings. Anti-social behaviour, which made up 10% of reported crimes, fell sharply by 71.4% from 14 to four cases. This decline could indicate improved community cohesion or the impact of localized efforts to address disruptive conduct. The overall crime profile highlights the need for targeted strategies to manage public order issues while maintaining the positive trends in other categories. The area’s lower-than-average rates for property crimes, such as burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000), suggest effective measures in securing residential and commercial spaces. These findings underscore the importance of continuing to monitor and adapt to the unique challenges of a built-up area within a larger urban context.

Public order offences saw a dramatic 500% increase in October, rising from one incident in September to six. This sharp rise, while notable, remains below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000 residents by 32%. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 71.4%, from 14 to 4, and vehicle crime fell by 60%, from five to two. These declines may reflect heightened community engagement or the impact of local initiatives. Violent crimes, which accounted for 60% of total offences, remained consistent with the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000 residents. The stark contrast between the public order spike and the declines in other categories underscores the unpredictable nature of crime patterns. Residents may find the decrease in vehicle crime particularly reassuring, as it suggests reduced opportunities for theft in parking areas. The overall drop in anti-social behaviour could indicate successful interventions or seasonal factors, such as the timing of local festivals.

Silsden’s October 2025 crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents marks a 28.6% decline from the previous month’s 6.4 per 1,000. This reduction, while significant, contrasts with the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, placing Silsden 40.3% below the national benchmark. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the month, a figure that may reflect seasonal patterns or localized factors. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime for roughly every 220 residents over the course of October. This monthly exposure rate, while low, highlights the importance of maintaining community vigilance. The drop from the prior month’s rate may be influenced by a combination of factors, including the transition into darker evenings and the timing of local events. However, the persistence of certain crime types—such as violence and sexual offences, which remain at the UK average—suggests that underlying social dynamics continue to shape the area’s crime profile.
