Ammanford Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Ammanford's crime rate in April 2024 stood at 0.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 92.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's exceptionally low crime levels, a trend consistent with its rural character and limited urban density. Anti-social behaviour accounted for 100% of reported crimes, with no other categories—such as burglary, violence, or theft—recorded. This divergence from the UK average, where anti-social behaviour typically represents around 50% of total crimes, suggests unique local factors influencing crime patterns. The seasonal context of April, marked by the Easter period and spring weather, may have played a role in shaping these outcomes. Increased outdoor activity during this time could have contributed to anti-social behaviour incidents. The absence of more severe crimes—such as violent offences or property crime—further underscores the area's safety profile. While the low crime rate is a positive indicator, residents should remain vigilant, particularly in public spaces where anti-social behaviour is the sole recorded concern. The area's small population and limited commercial activity likely reduce opportunities for more complex crimes, reinforcing its position as a low-risk environment compared to larger urban centres.

The most notable shift in April 2024 was the 16.7% month-on-month decrease in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 6 to 5 incidents. This decline, though modest, suggests a potential trend toward reduced disorderly conduct in the area. Anti-social behaviour remained the sole category reported, accounting for 100% of crimes, a stark contrast to the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000. This anomaly highlights a significant divergence from national patterns, where anti-social behaviour typically represents a smaller share of total crimes. Residents should note that while anti-social behaviour is the only crime type recorded, its frequency remains well below the UK average by 51%. The absence of other crime categories—such as burglary, violence, or vehicle crime—further reinforces Ammanford's position as an area with minimal exposure to more severe offences. This pattern may reflect the area's rural character and limited commercial activity, which reduce opportunities for certain types of crime.

Ammanford's crime rate in April 2024 fell to 0.6 per 1,000 residents, a 17.1% decrease from March's 0.8 per 1,000. This continued decline underscores a sustained trend of low crime levels in the area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 1,576 residents, a figure that highlights the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. Daily crime statistics show an average of 0 crimes per day, a local measure that reflects the low frequency of incidents. When scaled to the population of 7,879, this means residents face a monthly exposure rate of 1-in-1,576 for any reported crime. This places Ammanford significantly below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a disparity that remains consistent with national trends. The area's small population and limited urban density likely contribute to this gap, as larger cities typically see higher crime rates due to greater social interaction and economic activity.
