Caerphilly Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a period of minimal criminal activity in Caerphilly, with a total of 10 crimes reported across the district, equating to a crime rate of 0.1 per 1,000 residents—98.6% below the UK average of 7.3. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 50% of all reported incidents, followed by vehicle crime, criminal damage and arson, drugs, burglary, and anti-social behaviour, each contributing 10% of the total. This distribution highlights a stark contrast to national trends, where property crimes typically dominate. Seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and the onset of dark evenings likely influenced the crime picture, though the low overall volume suggests that local initiatives or environmental conditions may have mitigated risks. The absence of property crimes above the UK average, combined with the consistent sub-UK performance across all categories, indicates a unique local profile that may reflect a mix of urban and rural characteristics, where community engagement or infrastructure could play a role in reducing incidents. While direct causation, the seasonal context provides a plausible explanation for the limited volatility observed.

November 2025 saw three crime categories—drugs, burglary, and anti-social behaviour—each increase by 100% from zero to one incident, marking the most dramatic month-on-month swings. This spike contrasts with a 37.5% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from eight to five incidents. Despite these shifts, all categories remain significantly below UK averages: violence and sexual offences at 100% below the UK rate of 2.6 per 1,000, and anti-social behaviour at 100% below the UK’s 1.1 per 1,000. The property crime share (30%) was lower than the violent crime share (70%), a reversal of the previous month’s balance. For residents, the low overall crime rate—0.1 per 1,000—provides a clear benchmark against which local trends can be measured, even as specific categories fluctuate.

Caerphilly's crime rate in November 2025 remained unchanged from the previous month at 0.1 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a -25.0% decrease in absolute terms. Daily crime counts averaged 0 incidents per day over the 30-day period, underscoring the rarity of reported crimes in the area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 17,687 residents—a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents in a population of 176,865. This monthly exposure rate highlights the minimal risk residents face compared to other areas, though the slight downward trend from the previous month may indicate stabilisation in local crime patterns. The data suggests that while no single category dominated, the consistent sub-UK average rates across all crime types reinforce Caerphilly’s position as a relatively safe district, even as specific categories like anti-social behaviour saw notable month-on-month increases.
