Denbigh Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Denbigh's crime profile in October 2025 reveals a stark imbalance between violent and property crimes, with the former dominating at 62.5% of all incidents. This pattern is consistent with the area's broader trend of higher-than-average violent crime rates, which stood at 4.5 per 1,000 residents—69% above the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. The dominance of violence and sexual offences, coupled with relatively low property crime levels, may reflect the community's demographic composition or local social dynamics. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these figures, as October's shorter days and Halloween-related activities could have influenced both victim behaviour and offender opportunities. While the overall crime rate (7.2 per 1,000) is 6.5% below the UK average, this masks significant disparities within individual categories. For example, anti-social behaviour and public order offences were both below national averages, suggesting a lower prevalence of disruptive incidents in Denbigh compared to other areas. This contrast with the elevated violence rates raises questions about the underlying causes of the area's crime mix, which may include factors such as local employment patterns, youth demographics, or the presence of specific social services.

October saw a 300% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 1 to 4 incidents. This jump, though small in absolute terms, may partly reflect seasonal factors such as darker evenings and Halloween-related activities. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 45.5%, from 11 to 6 incidents, potentially linked to reduced public gatherings during the month. The area's violent crime rate (4.5 per 1,000) is 69% above the UK average for this category, highlighting a distinct local pattern. Meanwhile, drug-related crimes doubled from zero to one incident, a change that may reflect broader national trends rather than local specifics. For residents, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson could signal a need for increased vigilance around property security during the autumn months.

Denbigh's crime rate remained stable at 7.2 per 1,000 residents in October 2025, matching the rate recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no immediate spikes or declines in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that aligns with the area's smaller population and lower overall crime rate compared to national averages. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 139 residents, a ratio that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in a community of 7,788 people. When compared to the UK average, Denbigh's rate is 6.5% lower, but this does not translate to uniform safety across all crime categories. The local population size means that even small changes in crime type distribution can have noticeable impacts on residents' perceptions of safety.
