Frodsham Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Frodsham recorded 34 crimes across its population of 9,293 residents, translating to a crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 people—57% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure equates to roughly one crime for every 273 residents over the course of the month, a stark contrast to the national average. The most prevalent crime types were anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences, each accounting for 26.5% of reported incidents. These categories were both significantly below the UK average, with anti-social behaviour at 35% below and violence and sexual offences at 67% below. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, school holidays, and a surge in tourism—likely contributes to the profile of crimes reported. Anti-social behaviour, often linked to increased public activity and events, dominated the breakdown, while violent crimes may reflect heightened interactions in social settings. The low burglary and vehicle crime rates, 26% and 74% below UK averages respectively, align with Frodsham’s character as a built-up area within Cheshire West and Chester, where residential density and community policing may deter property-related offences. Public order offences, though lower than the UK average for most categories, rose by 25% compared to their national benchmark, tied to the increased foot traffic during summer festivals and events. The overall crime rate underscores Frodsham’s position as a relatively safe area compared to the UK, with its crime profile shaped by both local demographics and seasonal activity patterns.

July 2025 saw significant fluctuations in Frodsham’s crime profile, with anti-social behaviour surging by 125% from June’s 4 to 9 incidents. This spike aligns with the peak of summer festivals and events, which may have increased public gatherings and associated disruptions. Concurrently, burglary rose by 100%, from 1 to 2 cases, though remaining well below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. Public order offences also increased by 40%, from 5 to 7, potentially reflecting heightened interactions in crowded spaces. On the other hand, vehicle crime and shoplifting both declined by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident each. These decreases may be attributed to reduced vehicle theft opportunities during the summer, when car usage is lower, and fewer retail hours during holidays. Violence and sexual offences fell by 47.1%, from 17 to 9, a drop that contrasts with the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000. This reduction could indicate effective community engagement or policing efforts during the summer months. The data also reveals that Frodsham’s anti-social behaviour rate of 1.0 per 1,000 is 35% below the UK average of 1.6, suggesting a strong local response to managing public disturbances. Meanwhile, public order offences, though rising, remain below the UK average for most categories, highlighting a mixed but generally positive trend in crime management.

Frodsham’s July 2025 crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 represents a 12.9% decrease from June’s rate of 4.2, reflecting a continuing trend of declining crime. Over the course of the month, this equated to approximately 1 crime per day, a figure that may appear low given Frodsham’s status as a built-up area. However, when scaled to the population of 9,293, the monthly exposure rate of 1 in 273 residents provides a clearer context of individual risk. This is significantly lower than the UK average, where the equivalent rate would be much higher. The daily crime count of 1 per day is particularly noteworthy for residents, offering a tangible measure of local safety. Frodsham’s low burglary and vehicle crime rates, 26% and 74% below the UK average respectively, further underscore its distinct profile compared to the national context. While public order offences rose by 25% compared to the UK average, this category remains relatively low, indicating that Frodsham’s crime challenges are more aligned with social and community-based issues rather than property-related crimes. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Frodsham’s residents face a crime environment that is markedly safer than the UK average, though localized factors such as seasonal events and community dynamics continue to influence specific crime categories.
