Pyle Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 14,726 residents, Pyle recorded 72 crimes in September 2025, equating to a crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 people. This figure is 33.8% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, marking one of the most significant deviations in the area’s recent crime history. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark contrast between violent and property-related offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 61.1% of the total (44 incidents), followed by criminal damage and arson (10 incidents) and public order offences (7 incidents). This dominance of violent crime is consistent with the area’s character as a built-up zone within Bridgend, where social interactions and potential conflicts may be more concentrated. The seasonal context of September—marked by the start of the academic year, university freshers’ week, and the transition to darker evenings—may contribute to the elevated rates of violence and public order offences. While the overall rate is lower than the UK average, the category-specific comparisons highlight areas of divergence: violent crime is 16% above the UK average, whereas anti-social behaviour is 74% below. This suggests that while Pyle’s community may have effective strategies for addressing certain types of crime, targeted interventions could still be needed for violent incidents. The presence of 44 violent crimes in a single month underscores the importance of local policing efforts and community engagement in addressing this challenge.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Pyle. Criminal damage and arson increased by 66.7% compared to the previous month, rising from 6 to 10 incidents, while burglary also rose by 50.0%, from 2 to 3 cases. These increases contrast with sharp declines in anti-social behaviour (down 69.2%) and other theft (down 50.0%), suggesting a shift in criminal activity toward property-related offences. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 61.1% of all crimes, remain significantly above the UK average for this category (16% higher), underscoring a persistent challenge in addressing violent crime. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour is 74% below the UK average, a statistic that could reflect local community engagement or policing strategies. The rise in criminal damage and arson may partly explain the 26.5% monthly drop in the overall crime rate, as other categories saw reductions. Residents might find the 50% decrease in other theft particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a potential shift in criminal priorities or increased local deterrence efforts.

Pyle's crime rate in September 2025 fell to 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a 26.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.7. This reduction aligns with the 2 crimes reported per day on average, a figure that contextualises the pace at which incidents occur within the built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 205 residents, a monthly exposure rate that provides a tangible sense of the frequency of incidents relative to the population. With 14,726 residents, the area’s relatively low crime rate compared to the UK average (7.4 per 1,000) suggests a community that, despite local fluctuations, maintains a safer profile overall. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while violent crime remains a prominent category, the overall trajectory shows a measurable decline that could reflect seasonal factors or local initiatives. However, the daily crime count remains a reminder that even lower rates can translate to real-world impacts for residents.
