Coppull Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Coppull, the crime rate of 5.1 per 1,000 in July 2025 translates to a daily risk that is lower than the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure, which is 40.7% below the national benchmark, suggests that the built-up area within Chorley maintains a relatively safe environment for its 8,321 residents. The most common crime type remains violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 45.2% of all reported incidents — a rate of 2.3 per 1,000, 24% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 33.3% of all crimes.7 per 1,000 is 10% above the UK average for the same category. The seasonal context of July — a peak summer month with schools out, festivals, and tourism — may influence these patterns, though the overall low rate suggests that community factors or local policing efforts could be playing a role. The presence of criminal damage and arson, which rose sharply by 300%, could indicate a spike linked to outdoor events or vandalism during the summer months, a trend that may require closer monitoring. These statistics, while illustrative of the area's crime profile, also highlight the importance of contextualising data within both local and national frameworks to avoid overgeneralisation.

July 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories. Criminal damage and arson surged by 300%, jumping from one to four incidents — a sharp increase that may reflect the impact of summer festivals or outdoor events in the area. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 36.4%, from 22 to 14 incidents, suggesting a possible correlation with the summer break and reduced foot traffic in public spaces. While violent crimes remained the most common category (45.2% of total), their rate of 2.3 per 1,000 is 24% below the UK average for the same category, a disparity that could be influenced by Coppull's smaller population and community dynamics. Possession of weapons also rose by 100%, from zero to one incident. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, even within a generally low-rate environment.

Coppull's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, a 4.5% decline from June's 5.3 per 1,000. This translates to roughly one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that may offer reassurance to local residents. When viewed through the lens of population, the monthly exposure rate means that, on average, one resident in every 198 experienced a crime during the month — a statistic that contextualises risk in terms of personal likelihood. This rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, which sits at 8.6 per 1,000. The contrast is particularly stark when considering specific crime types: violent crimes in Coppull are 24% below the UK average for the same category, while shoplifting incidents are 85% below national figures. These disparities may reflect local factors, such as the area's relatively small population and limited commercial activity compared to larger urban centres. The daily crime count, while low, serves as a reminder that even in areas with overall low rates, individual risk can still be quantified and monitored.
