Weaverham Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Weaverham, 5.5 crimes were reported in June 2023—a rate 35.3% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This figure translates to a per-capita risk that is lower than the national benchmark, though the distribution of crime types reveals a distinct local pattern. Violence and sexual offences dominated, accounting for 61.1% of all reported crimes, a share that is 13% above the UK average for this category. Other theft followed closely, contributing 13.9% of the total, with its rate also 23% above the UK average. The seasonal context of June—a time when summer begins and daylight hours increase—may influence these trends, as extended evenings and early tourism in the region could contribute to higher interpersonal crime rates. In contrast, property-related offences such as criminal damage and arson were 6% below the UK average, while public order and anti-social behaviour incidents were significantly lower, at 55% and 80% below the national figures respectively. This mix suggests that Weaverham's crime profile is shaped by local dynamics, with violent crime being a persistent concern despite the area's overall safety compared to the UK. The low rates of public order offences and anti-social behaviour may reflect community-focused policing or the area's character as a relatively stable built-up area, though these findings should be contextualised within the broader framework of seasonal and regional factors that influence crime patterns.

June 2023 saw notable fluctuations in crime categories, with vehicle crime, criminal damage and arson, and other theft all increasing by 100% compared to May. This surge in vehicle-related incidents, from zero to one reported case, may partly explain the broader shift in crime mix towards property-related offences. Conversely, public order offences dropped by 60%, from five to two cases, a decline that contrasts with the UK average for this category, where Weaverham's rate was 55% below. Violent crimes, which accounted for 61.1% of all reported incidents, remained significantly above the UK average for this category—13% higher. This disparity underscores a local pattern where interpersonal crime dominates, despite the area's overall safety compared to the national rate. For residents, the daily crime count of one per day offers a tangible, low-frequency perspective on risk in Weaverham.

Weaverham's crime rate in June 2023 rose by 3.0% compared to May's 5.3 per 1,000 residents, reaching 5.5 per 1,000. This places the area firmly below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, with a 35.3% gap. On a daily basis, Weaverham saw roughly one crime reported each day in June, a figure that translates to a manageable local scale. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 183 residents, a monthly exposure rate that suggests a relatively low risk for most households. This rate is particularly notable when compared to the UK's broader context, where the average resident faces a significantly higher chance of encountering crime. The population of 6,599 further contextualises these figures, highlighting that Weaverham's crime profile remains distinct from the national trend, with property crimes and violent incidents distributed unevenly against UK benchmarks.
