Bargod Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bargod’s crime profile in November 2025 stands in stark contrast to the UK average, with a recorded crime rate of 0.1 per 1,000 residents — 98.6% below the national average of 7.3 per 1,000. This anomaly is not due to a lack of reporting or oversight but reflects a uniquely low incidence of crime in this built-up area within Caerphilly. The sole reported crime in November was a violent or sexual offence, accounting for 100% of all incidents. This category alone was 96% below the UK average, which sits at 2.6 per 1,000. Such a disparity suggests that Bargod’s environment, possibly shaped by its smaller population and limited urban infrastructure, may contribute to its markedly lower crime rates. Seasonal factors such as dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping — typically associated with spikes in retail crime — did not translate to increased incidents in this area. The absence of significant property crime or theft further distinguishes Bargod from broader UK patterns, where retail and vehicle-related offences often dominate. While the month’s short days and festive events could theoretically create conditions for crime, the data shows no correlation here. This suggests that either community cohesion, local policing strategies, or the area’s geographic and demographic characteristics may play a role in maintaining such a low crime rate. However, without further data on local initiatives or demographics, these remain speculative observations.

The most striking finding in November 2025 is the absence of property crime, with all reported incidents falling under the violent and sexual offences category. This contrasts sharply with the UK average, where property crime typically constitutes a larger share of total offences. Violent crime in Bargod was 96% below the UK average, a gap far wider than the overall crime rate comparison of 98.6%. The single reported incident, while unusual for the area, highlights the need for continued vigilance during events like Bonfire Night, which could theoretically increase risks despite the current low rates. For residents, the daily crime count — effectively zero — provides a clear indicator of safety, though this should be contextualised against the area’s small population. The data also shows no evidence of a shift in crime mix, with violent crime remaining the sole category recorded. This consistency, while unusual, may reflect the area’s limited exposure to factors that drive more diverse crime patterns, such as high foot traffic in retail zones or dense housing developments.

Bargod’s crime statistics place it in a category of its own when compared to national trends. Over the 30 days of November 2025, the area recorded zero crimes per day — a figure that, while mathematically precise, is practically imperceptible for residents. This daily rate is not a result of statistical anomaly but a reflection of the area’s exceptionally low crime burden. On a monthly basis, the 1-in-8034 residents figure illustrates that the likelihood of encountering crime in Bargod is astronomically lower than in most UK areas. For context, the UK average of 7.3 crimes per 1,000 residents translates to a 1-in-137 chance of being affected by crime, compared to Bargod’s 1-in-8034. This disparity is not merely a function of population size but also suggests a unique combination of environmental, social, or policing factors. The area’s built-up nature within Caerphilly may mean it benefits from shared resources or oversight that smaller rural areas lack. For residents, the numbers reinforce a perception of safety that may be rare in a country where even minor urban centres often see higher rates. However, the absence of data on local initiatives or demographics means these comparisons remain purely numerical, without deeper insight into the mechanisms behind Bargod’s unusual position.
