Pyle Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Pyle, 6.7 crimes were recorded in August 2025 — 17.3% below the UK average of 8.1. This translates to roughly one reported crime for every 150 residents over the course of the month, a figure that helps contextualise risk in everyday terms. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (48% of total), followed by public order incidents (14.3%) and anti-social behaviour (13.3%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up district within Bridgend, where high foot traffic and community interactions may contribute to public order challenges. Seasonal factors also played a role: August, a peak holiday month, saw increased tourism and empty homes, which likely heightens burglary risks. However, Pyle’s overall rate remains lower than the UK average, with several crime categories — including anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime — falling significantly below national benchmarks. This suggests that local initiatives or community dynamics may be effective in mitigating certain types of crime, even as others persist. The balance between violent and property crime is also noteworthy: nearly half of all crimes were violent, compared to property crimes comprising just 18% of the total. This mix reflects the area’s urban density and the potential influence of social interactions in public spaces.

August 2025 saw sharp increases in vehicle crime (+200%) and burglary (+100%), with three vehicle-related incidents reported compared to one in July, and two burglaries compared to one in the previous month. These jumps contrast with steep declines in shoplifting (-57.1%) and criminal damage (-50%), suggesting shifting patterns in criminal activity. Violent crime remains a pressing concern, with violence and sexual offences at 3.2 per 1,000 — 11% above the UK average — a figure that likely reflects the area’s social dynamics and the density of its population. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (0.9 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000) were both significantly below national averages, indicating areas where Pyle’s crime profile diverges from the UK norm. The drop in shoplifting is particularly notable, possibly linked to reduced retail activity during August or increased security measures in local stores. These fluctuations highlight the importance of tracking month-on-month changes to identify emerging trends and allocate resources effectively.

The crime rate in Pyle for August 2025 (6.7 per 1,000) represents an 11.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.5 per 1,000, a decline that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as school holidays or reduced foot traffic in certain areas. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three crimes per day in August, a figure that, while not extreme, underscores the need for vigilance in public spaces. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 150 residents — a monthly exposure rate that, while not insignificant, is lower than the UK average. This statistic helps residents contextualise their personal risk: in a town of 14,726 people, the likelihood of being directly affected by a crime is relatively low. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that Pyle’s crime profile is not uniform: while violent crime rates exceed the UK average, property-related crimes are markedly lower. This contrast suggests that local characteristics — such as community engagement or policing strategies — may be influencing crime patterns in ways that differ from national trends.
