Bagillt Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Bagillt recorded a crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents in January 2026, marking a 32.4% reduction compared to the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000. This performance reflects a broader trend of sustained safety in the area, consistent with its relatively low crime profile. The most prevalent offences were anti-social behaviour (32% of all crimes), followed by violence and sexual offences (28%), and criminal damage and arson (12%). Seasonal factors likely contributed to these patterns, as January typically sees reduced retail activity and shorter daylight hours, which may limit opportunities for certain crimes. The significant drop in violence and sexual offences compared to the UK average (48% below) suggests effective local measures or demographic factors, such as the area’s smaller, more cohesive community structure. Anti-social behaviour, while remaining the most common category, showed a notable deviation from national trends, being 61% above the UK average. This may indicate unique local challenges, such as concentrated social interactions in limited public spaces, though further analysis would be needed to confirm. The overall crime rate remains well below the UK average, illustrating Bagillt’s resilience in maintaining safety despite seasonal fluctuations.

January 2026 saw several notable shifts in crime patterns, with declines in violent crime and property crime outpacing increases in other categories. Violence and sexual offences fell by 46.2% month-on-month, dropping from 13 to 7 incidents. This decrease aligns with the post-holiday period, where reduced social activity and shorter days may limit opportunities for such crimes. Conversely, anti-social behaviour surged by 100%, rising from 4 to 8 incidents, potentially reflecting seasonal stressors or concentrated community interactions. Shoplifting also doubled, increasing from 0 to 2 incidents, which could be linked to reduced retail footfall and heightened opportunities in quieter environments. While anti-social behaviour remained the most common offence, its rate (1.5 per 1,000) was 61% above the UK average, highlighting a distinct local challenge. Meanwhile, shoplifting (0.4 per 1,000) and other theft (0.2 per 1,000) were both significantly below the UK average, suggesting effective local deterrents or lower demand for such crimes. The 100% increase in drug-related offences, from 0 to 1 incident, may indicate isolated incidents rather than a broader trend, though further data would be needed to assess its significance.

Bagillt’s crime rate in January 2026 (4.6 per 1,000) represents a 16.6% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.5 per 1,000, demonstrating a consistent downward trajectory. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 1 crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that may appear modest but reflects the community’s low crime density. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 219 residents, underscoring the relatively low exposure to crime in this population of 5,484. When compared to the UK average, Bagillt’s performance is striking: its crime rate is 32.4% below the national figure, a difference that translates to 1.2 fewer crimes per 1,000 residents than the UK average. This disparity is particularly evident in categories like violence and sexual offences, where Bagillt’s rate is 48% below the UK average, and shoplifting, which is 30% below. However, anti-social behaviour remains a local outlier, with a rate 61% above the UK average. These contrasts highlight both the strengths and unique challenges of Bagillt’s crime profile, shaped by its demographic and geographic characteristics. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that while the area is not immune to crime, its residents face a markedly lower risk compared to the national average.
