Frodsham Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Frodsham's crime rate in September 2025 remained markedly lower than the UK average, with 3.9 crimes per 1,000 residents compared to the national figure of 7.4. This 47.3% deficit underscores the area's consistent performance in maintaining public safety, a trend that has persisted despite seasonal fluctuations. The breakdown of crimes reveals a mix of patterns: violence and sexual offences accounted for 36.1% of incidents, followed by public order (19.4%) and anti-social behaviour (16.7%). These figures contrast with the UK averages for these categories, where violence and sexual offences are 46% below Frodsham's rate, and public order offences are 48% higher. The seasonal context of September—marked by back-to-school routines and shorter evenings—may influence these dynamics, as reduced foot traffic in commercial areas could temper opportunities for certain crimes while increasing pressures in others. The area's low burglary rate of 0.5 per 1,000 (compared to the UK's 0.3) highlights a specific vulnerability, linked to the built-up nature of Frodsham and its proximity to retail hubs. This data suggests that while the overall crime profile remains stable, targeted interventions may be warranted for categories showing divergence from national trends.

September saw a marked shift in crime patterns, with violence and sexual offences decreasing by 43.5% compared to August, falling from 23 to 13 incidents. This decline aligns with the seasonal transition into autumn, when reduced evening activity in local parks and public spaces may contribute to lower opportunities for such crimes. Conversely, burglary rates rose sharply by 150%, jumping from 2 to 5 incidents—a trend that contrasts with the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000, where Frodsham's rate of 0.5 per 1,000 places it 79% above. This divergence suggests localized factors, such as targeted property vulnerabilities or shifting criminal focus during the back-to-school period. Public order offences also increased, though they remain 48% above the UK average at 0.8 per 1,000, highlighting Frodsham's distinct profile compared to national trends.

Frodsham's September 2025 crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 23.5% decrease from August's 5.1 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. This reduction positions Frodsham 47.3% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a gap that has widened since last year. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one reported crime per day in September, a figure that contextualises the low-level nature of incidents in this built-up area. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 258 residents, a statistic that underscores the relatively low exposure to crime compared to larger urban centres. This monthly aggregate suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives, though the distribution of crime types—particularly the spike in burglary—deserves closer attention to local vulnerabilities.
