Elland Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile in Elland during November 2025 reveals a stark imbalance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 44.1% of all reported incidents. This contrasts sharply with the UK average, where such crimes account for only 2.6 per 1,000 residents (2.6 per 1,000). The local rate of 4.7 per 1,000 for violence and sexual offences is 83% above the national average, suggesting a localised concentration of incidents that may reflect social dynamics or environmental factors. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.4 per 1,000, also significantly exceeds the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000 by 32%, indicating persistent community tensions or challenges in public spaces. Seasonal factors in November—such as the darkening evenings, Bonfire Night celebrations, and the peak of Black Friday shopping—likely contribute to this pattern. Retail environments may see increased shoplifting activity during this period.7 per 1,000 rate for shoplifting in Elland is only 11% above the UK average, suggesting that while the area experiences this trend, it is not affected compared to other regions. The overall crime rate of 10.7 per 1,000 is 46.6% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, highlighting Elland as a locality with elevated crime levels relative to national benchmarks. This disparity may be influenced by Elland's status as a built-up area within Calderdale, where urban density and socioeconomic factors could intersect to create conditions conducive to higher crime rates.

November 2025 saw significant month-on-month changes in specific crime categories, with burglary increasing by 400% (from 2 to 10 incidents) and shoplifting rising by 42.9% (from 7 to 10). These jumps, while not matching the broader violent crime surge, suggest emerging trends that may warrant local attention. Violence and sexual offences, already 83% above the UK average, rose further by 10.9% compared to October, potentially reflecting the impact of seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Conversely, public order offences fell by 50% (from 16 to 8), and vehicle crime decreased by 33.3% (from 9 to 6), indicating a seasonal dip in alcohol-related disputes or reduced vehicle theft opportunities during colder weather. The breakdown of crime types reveals a striking divergence from UK norms: while property crimes typically dominate in many areas, Elland's violent crimes are more prevalent, comprising 44.1% of the total. This shift in the crime mix may be linked to Elland's built-up character, where higher population density and social interactions could contribute to more interpersonal conflicts. The 133% above UK average rate for burglary (0.7 per 1,000) is particularly concerning, suggesting vulnerabilities in residential security that may require targeted interventions.

The crime rate in Elland for November 2025 (10.7 per 1,000 residents) represents a 7.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 11.5 per 1,000, indicating a modest short-term improvement. However, this remains 46.6% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, underscoring the area's persistent challenges. On a daily basis, Elland experienced an average of 5 crimes per day in November, translating to roughly one reported crime for every 94 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure highlights the frequency of crime in the area relative to its population size, though it does not account for daily fluctuations. When scaled to the local population of 15,100, the 161 total crimes reported in November equate to a 1-in-94 chance of any resident being involved in a crime, a figure that may influence perceptions of safety. The previous month's rate of 11.5 per 1,000 suggests that while the trend is improving, the overall crime environment remains elevated compared to both historical norms and national averages. This context is crucial for residents assessing risk and for local authorities considering resource allocation, as the data indicates that while progress is being made, the area still requires sustained efforts to address underlying issues contributing to its higher-than-average crime levels.
