Bargod Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

September 2025 presented an unexpectedly low crime profile for Bargod, a built-up area within Caerphilly, with a total crime rate of 0.4 per 1,000 residents—94.6% below the UK average of 7.4. This stark contrast to the previous month's rate of 12.2 per 1,000 highlights a significant shift in the area's crime profile. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (2 incidents, 66.7% of total crimes) and public order offences (1 incident, 33.3%), both of which remain substantially below UK averages. The seasonal context of September, marked by the return to school and university term starts, likely contributed to this decline, as these periods often see reduced opportunities for crime linked to transient populations. However, the low overall rate also suggests that Bargod's built-up character, possibly influenced by its integration with Caerphilly's infrastructure, may inherently support lower crime levels. The area's crime profile is further shaped by its proximity to larger urban centres, which could divert certain criminal activities to more densely populated regions. While specific causal factors, the combination of seasonal patterns and local geography may explain the sustained safety observed in September.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 93.9% decrease in violent and sexual offences, falling from 33 incidents in August to just 2. This sharp decline, coupled with a 93.8% drop in public order offences (from 16 to 1), suggests a significant shift in local crime dynamics. Both categories remain well below UK averages, with violent crime at 0.3 per 1,000 (88% below the UK rate of 2.6) and public order offences at 0.1 per 1,000 (81% below the UK rate of 0.5). The month-on-month reductions may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as the return to school and university term start, which could reduce opportunities for crime linked to transient populations. Residents might find the daily crime count of zero particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a level of safety that contrasts sharply with the previous month's data.

Bargod's September 2025 crime rate of 0.4 per 1,000 residents marks a steep decline from the previous month's rate of 12.2 per 1,000, a 97% reduction. This shift is stark when considering the local context: over 30 days, the area recorded just three total crimes, translating to approximately zero crimes per day—a figure that, while statistically negligible, offers residents a tangible sense of security. On a monthly basis, one reported crime occurred for every 2,678 residents, a ratio that underscores the area's exceptionally low crime exposure compared to broader UK trends. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Bargod's current rate is not merely a statistical anomaly but a reflection of sustained safety measures or environmental factors unique to the built-up area. This contrast with the previous month's data suggests a possible alignment with seasonal rhythms, such as the return of students and the associated reduction in transient populations typically linked to higher crime rates in similar urban settings.
