Pyle Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

October 2025 marked a notable shift in Pyle’s crime profile, with the area recording a crime rate of 9.0 per 1,000 residents—16.9% above the UK average of 7.7. This figure underscores a significant divergence from national trends, particularly in violent crime, which accounted for 51.1% of all reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences, the most common crime type, were 73% above the UK average, a figure that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as darker evenings and the approach of Halloween. Anti-social behaviour, though a smaller proportion of the total (11.3%), saw a dramatic 275% increase compared to the previous month, raising questions about localized pressures or changes in community dynamics. The seasonal context of October—when clocks go back and daylight hours diminish—likely contributes to heightened visibility challenges, potentially exacerbating incidents of violence and disorder. Meanwhile, property crimes, though lower in overall count, showed a mixed picture: shoplifting was 52% below the UK average, reflecting effective retail security measures, while burglary and vehicle crime remained below national levels. These contrasts highlight the area’s unique characteristics, with its built-up nature within Bridgend likely influencing crime patterns through a combination of residential density and commercial activity. The overall rate, while elevated, suggests that Pyle’s crime profile is shaped by both local conditions and broader seasonal influences.

The most striking month-on-month change was a 275% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from four to 15 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 150% rise in drug-related crimes and a 100% increase in other crimes, suggests a shift in the crime mix. Violent crimes, accounting for 51.1% of all incidents, were 73% above the UK average, a stark deviation from national trends. Shoplifting fell 52% below the UK average, potentially reflecting localized factors such as retail security measures or seasonal retail activity. Meanwhile, burglary and vehicle crime remained below the UK average, with burglary at 33% below and vehicle crime at 76% below. These contrasting trends illustrate the combination of local conditions and broader national patterns. For residents, the spike in anti-social behaviour may signal a need for community-focused interventions in public spaces.

Pyle’s crime rate in October 2025 rose sharply to 9.0 per 1,000 residents, an 84.7% increase from the previous month’s rate of 4.9. This surge places the area 16.9% above the UK average, highlighting a marked departure from recent trends. Daily crime figures reveal an average of four crimes reported each day over the 31-day period, underscoring the frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When considering the population of 14,726, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 111 residents, a figure that may raise concerns among local residents. This context contrasts with the UK’s broader average, though specific daily comparisons for the UK are not available. The population-scaled perspective shows that Pyle’s rate, while elevated, remains within a range that reflects local conditions rather than an isolated anomaly. The shift from the previous month’s lower rate may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as darker evenings and Halloween-related activity, which could impact visibility and community engagement.
