Weaverham Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Weaverham’s crime rate in March 2025 stood at 2.7 per 1,000 residents, a stark 65.4% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This marked disparity highlights the area’s unique position within Cheshire West and Chester, where crime appears to be significantly lower than national norms. The most prevalent category of crime was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 55.6% of total incidents. This rate—1.5 per 1,000—was 45% below the UK average for this category, suggesting that Weaverham’s population may be experiencing fewer violent incidents than the national average. However, the category of ‘other crime’ showed a small but notable deviation, with its rate at 0.2 per 1,000—5% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. This slight anomaly, while minor in absolute terms, may warrant closer attention, particularly as it contrasts with the overall trend of below-average rates across most categories. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these figures, as March marks a transition to spring, with evenings lengthening and clocks changing. These shifts may influence social behaviour and, by extension, crime patterns, though the exact relationship remains to be explored. The low prevalence of property crimes—only 2 incidents recorded—suggests that Weaverham’s built-up nature and its demographic composition could be contributing to a crime profile that diverges from the UK average. As the area moves into the spring months, continued monitoring of these trends will be essential to understand any emerging patterns.

March 2025 saw notable shifts in Weaverham’s crime profile, with three categories increasing by 100% compared to the previous month: drugs, anti-social behaviour, and public order offences. This uptick may be linked to seasonal transitions, as longer evenings and the start of spring could influence social interactions and public activity. Conversely, violent crimes decreased by 37.5% (from 16 to 10), marking the most significant month-on-month reduction in this category. This shift from property-related crimes (2 incidents) to a higher proportion of violent crimes (55.6% of total) suggests a changing dynamic in local crime patterns. Only one category—other crime—remained slightly above the UK average, by 5%, though this was the smallest disparity among all categories. These fluctuations highlight the need for continued monitoring, particularly as the area navigates the transition from winter to spring, which may influence both crime types and their frequencies.

Weaverham’s crime rate in March 2025 fell to 2.7 per 1,000 residents, an 18.0% decline from the previous month’s 3.3 per 1,000. This reduction, while modest, aligns with broader seasonal patterns as the area transitions into spring. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the month, reflecting a consistent but low-level presence of criminal activity. When scaled to the population of 6,599, this equates to one reported crime for every 367 residents over the course of the month—a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in Weaverham compared to national benchmarks. While the UK average crime rate is 7.8 per 1,000, Weaverham’s rate remains 65.4% below this, suggesting a distinct local context that may involve factors such as community cohesion, policing strategies, or the built-up nature of the area itself. The low monthly exposure figure also implies that residents are not frequently encountering crime, which could be attributed to the area’s characteristics as a smaller, more tightly-knit built-up zone within Cheshire West and Chester.
