Weaverham Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Weaverham’s crime profile in February 2025 reveals a stark imbalance between violent and property crimes, with violent offences accounting for 72.7% of all reported incidents. This dominance of violent crime, despite an overall rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents—50.7% below the UK average—suggests local factors may be influencing this trend. The area’s built-up character within Cheshire West and Chester likely contributes to higher interpersonal crime rates, possibly linked to community density or social interactions in shared spaces. Seasonal context further shapes these patterns: February, a winter month with limited outdoor activity, may see increased indoor gatherings, heightening risks of violence and sexual offences. However, property crime remains low, with other theft at 57% below the UK average and criminal damage and arson 38% below the national rate. This contrast could reflect Weaverham’s focus on community policing or the absence of high-risk areas like commercial hubs that typically drive property crime. The data also highlights a nuanced relationship with UK averages: while violent crime is slightly above the national rate for this category, other offences such as public order and theft are significantly below, illustrating a mixed picture that may require tailored local strategies. The pre-spring lull typical of February may also contribute to the overall stability in crime rates, with no major spikes or drops observed beyond the criminal damage increase.

February 2025 saw a 100% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from one to two incidents. This spike contrasts with an 80% decline in public order offences, which fell from five to one. Meanwhile, violent crimes remained the dominant category, contributing 72.7% of all reported incidents—2% above the UK average for this category. The property crime rate, however, was 57% below the UK average for other theft, highlighting a potential focus on personal safety over property in Weaverham. The violent crime rate in February fell by 5.9% compared to January, from 17 to 16 incidents, suggesting a slight stabilization in this category. Residents may find the 1-in-300 monthly exposure figure useful for contextualizing the low probability of being directly affected by crime in the area.

Weaverham’s crime rate in February 2025 fell to 3.3 per 1,000 residents, a 24.1% decline from the previous month’s rate of 4.4. This downward trend aligns with seasonal patterns typical of winter months, when outdoor activity diminishes and community interactions shift indoors. Over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 300 residents, reflecting a relatively low monthly exposure compared to the area’s population. Daily crime statistics indicate an average of one crime per day in Weaverham, a figure that, while modest, underscores the consistency of local law enforcement efforts. When scaled to the population, the 3.3 per 1,000 rate places Weaverham significantly below the UK average, yet the proportion of violent crimes—72.7% of all incidents—suggests a unique local dynamic. This balance between violent and property crime may reflect Weaverham’s character as a built-up area within Cheshire, where community density and social interactions could influence crime patterns differently than in more rural or suburban settings.
