Euxton Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

February 2026 marked a mixed picture for Euxton’s crime profile, with some areas of concern emerging despite an overall rate 53.1% below the UK average. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime breakdown, accounting for 43.9% of total incidents (25 cases) and remaining 44% below the UK average of 2.3 per 1,000. This category’s prevalence may be linked to the area’s built-up nature and potential for interpersonal conflicts in shared spaces. Anti-social behaviour followed at 17.5% (10 cases), also significantly below the UK average. decline from January raises questions about temporary factors such as seasonal lulls or local initiatives. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with low outdoor activity—may have contributed to the overall lower crime rate, yet the surge in public order offences (300% increase) suggests a shift in patterns that could be tied to indoor gatherings or tensions during colder weather. Other theft (10.5%) and shoplifting (5.3%) remained well below UK averages, reflecting Euxton’s relatively low retail crime profile. However, the 300% jump in public order offences and the doubling of vehicle crime highlight specific vulnerabilities that may require targeted community engagement. These trends, while not indicative of a major crisis, warrant attention to prevent further escalation, particularly as the area transitions into spring.

February 2026 saw a sharp rise in public order offences, increasing from one to four incidents—a 300% surge. This spike, coupled with a 100% increase in drugs-related crimes and vehicle crime, signals emerging concerns that residents should monitor closely. While violent crimes remained the most common category (25 incidents, 43.9% of total), they were still 44% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 41.2% (from 17 to 10), though this decline contrasts with the rise in public order issues. Vehicle crime doubled from zero to two incidents, a change that could reflect increased traffic or unsecured vehicles in residential areas. These fluctuations highlight the need for community awareness, particularly around public spaces and local transport hubs where recent increases have occurred.

Euxton’s crime rate in February 2026 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a 20.7% decrease from the previous month’s 3.7 per 1,000. While this represents a local decline, the monthly exposure remains low: over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for every 339 residents. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly two crimes per day, a figure that, while small, highlights the need for vigilance in specific areas. The population context further illustrates the scale: with 19,346 residents, the rate is 53.1% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000. This gap underscores Euxton’s relatively safer profile compared to the national picture, though the spikes in certain categories—such as public order offences—suggest localized challenges that could shift this balance. The drop from the prior month may reflect seasonal lulls typical of winter, but the absence of a UK-wide daily comparison means residents must focus on local trends and their immediate environment.
