Catshill Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Catshill, 4.3 crimes were reported in June 2025 — a rate 46.9% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to one reported crime for every 235 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (22 incidents, 48.9% of total), followed by other theft (11.1%) and anti-social behaviour (11.1%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up district within Bromsgrove, where community density may contribute to higher reports of interpersonal crime. Seasonal factors may also play a role, as June marks the beginning of the summer period, when longer daylight hours and increased foot traffic in local amenities could influence crime dynamics. However, the overall low rate suggests effective local policing or community engagement strategies may be in place, though this remains speculative without further data. The breakdown of crime types reveals a mix of violent and property-related incidents, with property crimes making up 26.7% of the total (12 incidents), a proportion significantly lower than the UK average for property crime. This contrast highlights Catshill’s unique profile compared to broader national trends, where property crime typically dominates.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns compared to May. Drug-related incidents surged by 100%, rising from zero to three reports, while other theft increased by 66.7% (3 to 5) and public order offences rose by 50% (2 to 3). These increases may reflect heightened social activity during the summer months. Conversely, burglary fell sharply by 83.3% (6 to 1), criminal damage and arson dropped 75% (4 to 1), and anti-social behaviour decreased by 58.3% (12 to 5), suggesting seasonal variations in criminal opportunity or enforcement focus. Violence and sexual offences — the most common category — remained 27% below the UK average (2.1 vs 2.9 per 1,000), a disparity that may partly explain Catshill’s overall lower crime rate. Vehicle crime, though relatively low (0.4 per 1,000), was 8% above the UK average, a small but notable outlier that could hint at unaddressed vulnerabilities in local vehicle security measures. These fluctuations underscore the need for continuous monitoring, as even minor shifts in crime types can have local implications for public safety.

Catshill’s crime rate in June 2025 (4.3 per 1,000) marked a 26.3% decline from May’s rate of 5.8 per 1,000, reflecting a downward trend that may indicate sustained community efforts or seasonal crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly two crimes per day — a figure that, while modest, highlights the presence of criminal activity in a built-up district. When scaled to population, this translates to one reported crime for every 235 residents over the course of the month, a statistic that provides a tangible sense of risk for local residents. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which would see one crime for every 124 residents in a comparable period. The contrast is even starker in categories like anti-social behaviour, where Catshill’s rate (0.5 per 1,000) was 65% below the UK average (1.4 per 1,000). Such disparities may reflect differences in local demographics, policing strategies, or community cohesion. However, the relatively higher rate of vehicle crime (0.4 per 1,000) compared to the UK average (0.4 per 1,000) suggests no clear advantage in this category, indicating areas for potential improvement. These comparative figures offer a nuanced view of Catshill’s safety profile, balancing both strengths and areas requiring attention.
