Ripponden Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ripponden's crime profile in November 2025 reveals a nuanced interplay between property and violent crime, with property offences slightly outnumbering violent crimes. The overall crime rate of 5.1 per 1,000 residents places the area 30.1% below the UK average of 7.3, a significant disparity that underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community factors in mitigating criminal activity. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 35.7% of all crimes, followed by criminal damage and arson (17.9%) and burglary (14.3%). This distribution may reflect the area's built-up nature and its proximity to Calderdale, where property-related crimes are more common. Seasonal factors, such as the transition into darker evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night, may have influenced the surge in public order offences, which saw a 200% increase compared to the previous month. The UK average for violent crimes is 2.6 per 1,000, while Ripponden's rate is 1.8 per 1,000, indicating a 30% deficit. This gap could be attributed to the area's relatively low population density and strong community engagement. However, the area's property crime rates, particularly for criminal damage and arson, exceed UK averages by 70% and 133%, respectively, suggesting vulnerabilities in infrastructure or local enforcement. These patterns highlight the need for targeted interventions, especially in high-risk areas such as public spaces and residential zones, to address the specific challenges faced by Ripponden.

November 2025 saw a striking 200% increase in public order offences, rising from one to three incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in both drugs-related crimes and vehicle crime, contrasts sharply with a 42.9% decline in burglary, which fell from seven to four incidents. The balance between property and violent crime remains tilted toward property offences, with 14 property crimes compared to 10 violent crimes. However, violent crime rates in Ripponden are 30% below the UK average, while property crimes like criminal damage and arson are 70% and 133% above UK averages, respectively. These discrepancies suggest local factors, such as the built-up nature of Ripponden and its proximity to Calderdale, may influence specific crime types. For residents, the 200% spike in public order offences offers a concrete example of how seasonal events, like Bonfire Night, can temporarily amplify certain criminal activities.

Ripponden's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 7.6% compared to the previous month, moving from 4.7 to 5.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a broader seasonal pattern influenced by factors such as darker evenings and the proximity to Bonfire Night. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, a figure that aligns with the area's relatively low overall crime rate. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 197 residents, illustrating the sparse nature of criminal activity in this built-up area. With a population of 5,502, the monthly exposure statistic contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the local community, offering a tangible measure of risk. While the rate remains below the UK average, the shift from the previous month suggests a need for continued monitoring of trends, particularly in categories like public order offences, which saw a significant increase. This data provides residents with a clear picture of their monthly risk profile, helping to inform local awareness and preparedness.
