Pyle Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2025, Pyle's crime profile revealed a marked dominance of violent offences, which accounted for nearly half of all reported incidents, contrasting sharply with the lower incidence of property crimes. The overall crime rate of 6.9 per 1,000 residents placed the area 10.4% below the UK average, a figure that underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community initiatives. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (45.1% of total incidents), followed closely by public order (12.8%) and anti-social behaviour (12.8%). This pattern is consistent with the area's character as a built-up part of Bridgend, where public spaces and community interactions may drive such incidents. Seasonal factors in April—such as the Easter period and the onset of spring—likely influenced crime patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially contributing to public order issues. However, the significant drop in violent crimes compared to the previous month suggests that temporary factors, such as holidays, may have played a role in reducing tensions. The lower property crime rate, particularly for shoplifting and vehicle crime, may reflect the area's economic profile or the presence of effective prevention measures. While the UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, Pyle's rate of 3.1 per 1,000 indicates a localised challenge that requires tailored responses. The contrast between Pyle's violent crime rates and its property crime rates offers a critical insight into the area's safety dynamics, pointing to a need for targeted interventions in public safety and community cohesion.

April 2025 saw notable shifts in Pyle's crime mix, with violent crimes dominating at 45.1% of total incidents, compared to property crimes at 19.6%. This stark imbalance suggests a focus on interpersonal conflicts or public safety concerns, possibly linked to seasonal transitions. Month-on-month, anti-social behaviour surged by 160%, rising from five to thirteen incidents, while drug-related crimes increased by 133%, indicating potential pressures on local services. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 50%, aligning with a 55% deficit compared to the UK average for this category. The drop in violent crimes—31.3% from the previous month—may reflect the impact of Easter holidays or increased community engagement. Vehicle crime rose by 100%, though it remains 74% below the UK average, suggesting localised factors rather than systemic issues.

Pyle's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 6.9 per 1,000 residents, marking a 5.5% decline from the previous month's 7.3 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with a broader trend observed in early spring, where increased daylight hours and community activity may contribute to lower crime rates. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately three crimes per day, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall crime rate compared to the UK average. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 144 residents, illustrating the monthly exposure to crime in this built-up area. When contextualised against the population of 14,726, this suggests a manageable level of risk for residents, though specific categories like violence and sexual offences remain elevated. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the overall rate is below the UK average, certain crime types present unique challenges that warrant targeted attention.
