Pontllanfraith Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

February 2026 in Pontllanfraith presented a starkly low crime profile, with a total of 1 reported incident at a rate of 0.1 per 1,000 residents — 98.4% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000. This figure, though minimal, reflects a consistent pattern observed in built-up areas of Caerphilly, where urban planning and community engagement have historically contributed to reduced crime rates. The sole incident, categorized as 'Other crime,' accounted for 100% of the month's total, aligning precisely with the UK average for this classification. Seasonal context suggests that February's low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull may have limited opportunities for crimes typically associated with public spaces, such as theft or violence. However, the absence of more common crime types like burglary or vehicle crime raises questions about the area's unique characteristics. Built-up areas within Caerphilly often benefit from dense infrastructure and community policing, which may contribute to the low crime rates. The month's stability, coupled with the UK alignment of 'Other crime' figures, indicates that Pontllanfraith's crime profile is both exceptionally safe and representative of national trends in this specific category. This data underscores the area's effectiveness in maintaining security through a combination of environmental design and targeted interventions.

February 2026 marked a 100% increase in 'Other crime' incidents, rising from 0 to 1. This category, though minor in overall impact, aligns exactly with the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000 residents for the same classification. The absence of other crime types — such as violence, property crime, or theft — further reinforces the area's low-risk profile. This spike in 'Other crime' did not disrupt the overall stability of the crime rate, which remained unchanged from January 2026. Residents may find the precision of the data noteworthy: with only one incident recorded, local authorities can focus resources on targeted prevention rather than broad-scale initiatives. The category's UK alignment suggests that whatever incident occurred was not uniquely attributable to Pontllanfraith's specific circumstances.

Pontllanfraith's crime rate remained stable in February 2026, matching the previous month's rate of 0.1 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in local crime patterns. Daily crime counts show an average of 0 incidents per day over the 28-day period, reflecting a near-zero crime environment. When scaled to the population of 10,203, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 10,203 residents — a figure that underscores the area's exceptionally low crime levels compared to the UK average. While this metric is local-specific and cannot be directly compared to national daily figures, it highlights the rarity of incidents within Pontllanfraith. The stability contrasts with broader UK trends, where February typically sees a slight dip in crime due to winter weather and reduced outdoor activity, yet Pontllanfraith's numbers remain remarkably consistent regardless of seasonal factors.
