Elland Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Elland recorded 164 crimes across its 15,100 residents, translating to a crime rate of 10.9 per 1,000 — 26.7% above the UK average of 8.6. This figure, equivalent to one reported crime for every 92 residents, underscores the area's elevated risk profile. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (29.9% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (24.4%) and criminal damage (11.0%). These patterns align with Elland's character as a built-up area within Calderdale, where public spaces and community interactions may contribute to higher rates of anti-social behaviour. The seasonal context of July — peak summer, school holidays, and festival activity — likely exacerbates incidents of violence and public order offences, while also creating opportunities for targeted crime like bicycle theft. Shoplifting rates were 23% below the UK average, suggesting local retail environments may have effective deterrents. The data also reveals a stark contrast in property crime trends: while burglary and other thefts were significantly above national averages, vehicle crime fell 23% below the UK rate, due to reduced car usage during the summer. These findings illustrate the complex relationship between seasonal rhythms and local demographics in shaping crime patterns.

July 2025 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with theft from the person doubling to one reported incident and bicycle theft tripling to three cases — both increases attributed to festival-related activity. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped 60% from 10 to 4 incidents, likely reflecting reduced car usage during summer holidays. Violent crime fell by 38% compared to June, though it remains 9% above the UK average at 3.3 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, the most common category, was 74% above the UK average, a figure that may partly explain the 24.4% share of total crimes. Shoplifting rates were 23% below the UK average, suggesting local retail security measures may be effective. These contrasting trends highlight the combination of seasonal factors and community-specific dynamics.

Elland's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 10.9 per 1,000 residents, a 17.6% decrease from June's 13.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the summer lull in some property crimes. Over the month, 164 crimes were reported, averaging roughly five incidents per day — a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 92 residents. This monthly exposure rate underscores the persistent presence of crime in daily life, even as overall numbers contract. The population context reveals that Elland's 15,100 residents face a crime environment markedly different from the UK average, with certain categories like anti-social behaviour and criminal damage far exceeding national norms. While the drop from June suggests potential seasonal moderation, the underlying patterns in specific crime types indicate areas requiring sustained attention.
