Weaverham Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Weaverham’s crime rate in September 2025 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 59.5% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This represents a marked improvement from the previous month, though the distribution of crime types reveals a complex picture. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 40% of all crimes, with 8 incidents reported. This category’s rate of 1.2 per 1,000 is 53% below the UK average, likely reflecting the area’s lower population density and the absence of high-risk zones like major nightlife hubs. Public order offences (20%) and drugs-related crimes (15%) showed notable deviations from national trends, with the former exceeding the UK average by 11% and the latter by 92%. These discrepancies may be partly explained by seasonal factors: September, a time of back-to-school activity and the start of university freshers’ week, could have influenced patterns of public order and drug-related incidents. Anti-social behaviour, at 15% of total crimes, was 57% below the UK average, suggesting that Weaverham’s community policing efforts or local social dynamics may be effective in curbing such disturbances. Vehicle crime. of total crimes, still remained 50% below the UK average, a trend consistent with the area’s relatively low traffic density and limited commercial zones. The overall low crime rate contrasts with the spikes in specific categories, highlighting the need for targeted interventions without overgeneralising the area’s safety profile.

September 2025 marked a significant drop in violent crime, with violence and sexual offences decreasing by 61.9% compared to August. This decline, from 21 to 8 incidents, contrasts sharply with the sharp increases in drug-related crimes (+200%) and public order offences (+100%). These spikes in drugs and public order may reflect the influence of university freshers’ week. The area’s violent crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 is 53% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 92% above UK average for drug-related crimes. Residents may find the 5.0% rise in vehicle crime noteworthy, though it remains 50% below the national average. The shift in crime mix—from predominantly violent to a more balanced distribution—suggests evolving patterns that warrant further observation.

Weaverham's crime rate in September 2025 dropped to 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a 35.5% decrease from the previous month’s 4.7 per 1,000. This shift places the area significantly below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, with the gap widening further this month. Over the 30-day period, 20 crimes were reported, equating to roughly one crime per day. This daily frequency is lower than many comparable areas, reflecting Weaverham’s generally safer environment. On a monthly scale, one reported crime occurred for every 330 residents, a figure that contextualises the low overall rate against the local population of 6,599. While the reduction in violent crime is the most striking trend, the increase in drug-related incidents and public order offences suggests a nuanced picture. These shifts may partly explain the mixed outcomes observed in the breakdown, but the overall trajectory remains one of declining crime exposure for residents.
