Weaverham Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 6,599 residents, 18 crimes were reported in Weaverham during July 2025. This equates to a crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents — 68.6% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. The data reveals a stark contrast between violent and property crime patterns, with 13 violent offences accounting for 72.2% of all reported incidents. This includes violence and sexual offences (13 cases, 2.0 per 1,000), vehicle crime (2 cases, 0.3 per 1,000), and other theft (2 cases, 0.3 per 1,000). The dominance of violent crime in Weaverham’s crime profile aligns with seasonal patterns typical of a built-up area in Cheshire West and Chester during peak summer months. With schools out and tourism at its height, the increased presence of transient populations may partly explain the elevated number of violent incidents compared to property crimes. The area’s crime rate is lower than the UK average for all categories where comparisons are available, including a 34% deficit in violent crime and an 87% deficit in anti-social behaviour. This suggests Weaverham’s policing strategies or community dynamics may be more effective in preventing certain types of crime, though the high proportion of violent offences indicates a need for targeted interventions in this category. The seasonal context of July — with festivals, outdoor events, and extended daylight hours — likely contributes to the pattern observed, though the exact relationship between these factors and crime remains complex.

July 2025 saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime compared to June, rising from 1 to 2 incidents. This contrasts with a 30.7% overall decline in the area’s crime rate from the previous month, which stood at 3.9 per 1,000. The breakdown of crimes reveals a striking imbalance: violent offences (13) outnumbered property crimes (4) by more than threefold, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 72.2% of all reported incidents. This sharp divergence from the UK average — where violent crime constitutes 34% of total incidents — suggests Weaverham faces distinct challenges in managing violent crime. For instance, the area’s violent crime rate (2.0 per 1,000) is 34% below the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000, yet the sheer volume of violent incidents still dominates the local crime picture. Meanwhile, vehicle crime in Weaverham (0.3 per 1,000) is 23% below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, indicating that vehicle-related offences are less common here than in other parts of the country. A resident might find the 100% increase in vehicle crime particularly noteworthy, as it highlights a specific vulnerability in local security measures despite the overall downward trend in crime.

The crime rate in Weaverham fell by 30.7% from June 2025 (3.9 per 1,000) to July 2025 (2.7 per 1,000), marking a significant improvement in the area’s safety profile. On a daily basis, this translates to approximately 1 crime reported per day in July — a figure that, while seemingly low, reflects the small population of 6,599 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 367 residents, illustrating the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the UK average, Weaverham’s performance is even more striking: the area’s crime rate is 68.6% below the national average, with violent crime specifically being 34% lower than the UK average. This suggests that Weaverham’s policing, community engagement, or environmental factors may be contributing to this disparity. However, the dominance of violent crime in the local profile — which constitutes 72.2% of all incidents — contrasts with the UK’s more balanced distribution of crime types. For residents, the low frequency of crimes per capita (1 in 367 residents over the month) provides a tangible sense of safety, though the high proportion of violent offences indicates that local authorities may need to address underlying factors driving such incidents.
