Rhymney Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 100 residents in Rhymney, there was a 1.2% chance of experiencing a crime in June 2025, according to the area’s crime rate of 12.1 per 1,000 — 49.4% above the UK average. This figure translates to a daily risk of roughly two crimes reported in the built-up area, a pattern that may reflect the local character of Rhymney as a mixed urban-rural hub within Caerphilly. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (45.3% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour and public order offences. These rates align with patterns seen in similar built-up areas, where high concentrations of residential and commercial activity can drive both violent and public order incidents. The start of summer, with its longer days and potential increase in foot traffic, may contribute to these trends. Violent crimes, at 5.5 per 1,000, were 92% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the national figure of 2.9 per 1,000. This disparity underscores the need for localized strategies to address community-specific risks. Meanwhile, vehicle crime, at 1.3 per 1,000, was 251% above the UK average, suggesting a particular vulnerability in local transport infrastructure or parking environments. The data also shows that public order offences, at 1.7 per 1,000, were 188% above the UK average, influenced by the area’s proximity to recreational spaces or events that may attract transient populations. These patterns highlight the importance of understanding how local geography and seasonal rhythms intersect with crime trends to inform targeted interventions.

June 2025 saw a significant decrease in criminal damage and arson, falling by 83.3% compared to the previous month, likely reflecting seasonal shifts or targeted interventions. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 47.1%, suggesting a potential reduction in public disturbances during the early summer months. However, violent crimes remain a major concern, accounting for 45.3% of all incidents, with a rate of 5.5 per 1,000 — 92% above the UK average. Vehicle crime, at 1.3 per 1,000, was 251% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the national trend. Residents may find the 188% above UK average for public order offences particularly concerning, as this category saw a dramatic increase compared to the national benchmark. These shifts highlight a complex mix of local factors influencing crime patterns.

Rhymney's crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 40.2% from the previous month's 20.3 per 1,000 to 12.1 per 1,000, marking a notable decline. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 82 residents, highlighting the monthly exposure to crime in the area. On a daily basis, the local figure shows approximately two crimes reported each day, a consistent rhythm that residents may find familiar. This reduction contrasts with the area’s overall rate, which remains 49.4% above the UK average. The drop in specific categories like criminal damage and arson (-83.3%) and drugs (-70.0%) suggests targeted efforts may have had an impact. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the rate is still elevated compared to the UK, the month-on-month decline offers a tangible improvement for those living in Rhymney.
