Todmorden Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Todmorden's crime rate of 9.2 per 1,000 residents places it 13.6% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to a 1-in-108 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month for any given resident. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 48.4% of all crimes (61 incidents) and sat 57% above the UK average for this category. Criminal damage and arson (12 incidents) and anti-social behaviour (12 incidents) followed closely, with the latter 37% below the UK average. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours, may partly explain the elevated violence rates, as increased public activity in the town's historic core and surrounding areas could contribute to higher incidences of alcohol-fuelled disputes and public order issues. While property crime accounted for 27.8% of all reported incidents, the focus on violent crime suggests a shift in the area's crime profile compared to other months, influenced by local events or community dynamics. The data illustrates a combination of environmental factors and demographic patterns, with the town's mix of residential and commercial spaces likely playing a role in shaping these trends.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in drug-related crimes, with incidents rising by 300% compared to May (1 to 4) — a significant shift that could indicate emerging challenges in local law enforcement priorities. Bicycle theft also spiked by 100%, with one reported incident in June after none in May, suggesting potential vulnerabilities in securing personal property during the summer months. Conversely, public order offences decreased by 47.1% (17 to 9), reflecting a reduction in alcohol-related incidents as venues adjusted to seasonal patterns. Violence and sexual offences remained the most pressing concern, with their rate (4.5 per 1,000) 57% above the UK average. This disparity highlights a localised challenge that may be linked to the area's social fabric, with the town's historic market square and surrounding nightlife areas likely contributing to the elevated rates. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour incidents, though still notable (9.5% of total crimes), were 37% below the UK average — a contrast that could be attributed to the town's relatively tight-knit community structure and local policing efforts. The data also shows that vehicle crime (0.4 per 1,000) and burglary (0.3 per 1,000) remained in line with or slightly above UK averages, suggesting that while these categories are not the dominant concern, they still require attention from local authorities.

Todmorden's crime rate in June 2025 (9.2 per 1,000) represented an 8.1% decline from the previous month's rate of 10.1 per 1,000, indicating a short-term reduction in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 4 reported crimes per day — a figure that, while modest, underscores the persistent presence of crime in a community of 13,633 residents. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 108 residents, a ratio that provides a tangible sense of the risk faced by individuals living or working in Todmorden. This monthly exposure rate, while lower than some urban centres, still places the area above the UK average when considering the overall crime rate. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the town's crime rate is not exceptionally high, the concentration of violent offences (48.4% of total crimes) suggests a need for targeted interventions. When compared to the previous month, the decrease in public order offences and burglary may reflect seasonal adjustments, with fewer late-night incidents as the summer months progress. However, the sharp rise in drug-related crimes highlights a new challenge that could require additional resources or community-based strategies to address effectively.
