Weaverham Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

August 2025 in Weaverham revealed a striking divergence in crime patterns, with violent offences dominating the landscape. The area recorded 31 crimes, yielding a crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents—42.0% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 21 incidents (67.7% of all crimes), significantly outpacing the UK average for this category (2.9 per 1,000). This contrast with the UK's broader mix of property and violent crimes highlights Weaverham's unique profile, where property crimes were sparse (only 3 reported). Seasonal context suggests that August, a peak holiday month, may have influenced these dynamics: increased tourism and empty homes could have raised burglary risks, yet no such incidents were recorded. Conversely, the rise in anti-social behaviour and public order offences aligns with the influx of transient visitors. The data also shows Weaverham's violent crime rate is 11% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect local factors such as the area's built-up character and proximity to recreational spaces. While the overall crime rate remains low, the concentration of violent incidents raises questions about community safety during high-traffic periods, a trend that may warrant further analysis.

August 2025 marked a stark shift in Weaverham's crime profile, with anti-social behaviour surging by 200.0% compared to July, rising from one to three incidents. This jump, alongside a 100.0% increase in both drugs-related offences and public order violations, points to a significant change in local patterns. Violent crimes, which now constitute 67.7% of all incidents, remain 11% above the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, despite the overall rate being 42.0% below the national figure. The absence of property crimes—only three reported in total—contrasts sharply with the UK average for this category, suggesting a unique dynamic at play. For residents, the 200% rise in anti-social behaviour may indicate heightened tensions during the summer holiday period, a time when transient populations and increased foot traffic could contribute to such incidents.

Weaverham's crime rate in August 2025 rose 72.2% compared to July 2025, moving from 2.7 to 4.7 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though significant, still places the area 42.0% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. Locally, the daily crime count averaged one incident per day over the month, a figure that contextualises the pace of activity in a built-up area with 6,599 residents. Over the course of August, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 213 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents despite the upward trend. This statistic suggests that while crime has risen, the area remains safer than the UK average, with the majority of residents experiencing no direct impact from reported incidents. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Weaverham's crime profile, even with recent increases, continues to diverge from national trends in both volume and composition.
