Mynydd Isa Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Mynydd Isa’s crime rate in April 2023 stood at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 62.7% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends underscores the area’s generally low crime profile, a pattern consistent with its status as a small built-up area within Flintshire. The most common crimes reported were anti-social behaviour (25%) and violence and sexual offences (25%), both of which fell significantly below UK averages—41% and 73% respectively. This divergence may reflect local characteristics, such as a tightly knit community or limited commercial activity, which could reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. Seasonal factors also appear influential: April’s milder weather and Easter-related activities may have shifted patterns of public behaviour, though the overall crime rate remains stable compared to other months. The data suggests that while property crimes (6) and violent crimes (4) were evenly distributed, the absence of major incidents in categories like shoplifting or burglary aligns with the area’s lower exposure to high-risk environments. This snapshot reinforces Mynydd Isa’s position as a relatively safe area, though the small population and low crime numbers mean that even minor fluctuations can yield significant percentage changes.

April 2023 saw a stark 69.2% decrease in violence and sexual offences, falling from 13 cases in March to 4, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes in social activity or targeted policing efforts. Conversely, other theft rose sharply by 200%—from one to three cases—suggesting potential vulnerabilities in unmonitored areas. The single reported drug-related incident, a 100% increase from March, contrasts with the UK average, where drugs are slightly above the national rate. Anti-social behaviour, though still below the UK average, rose by 33.3% to four incidents, potentially linked to Easter-related gatherings. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Mynydd Isa, where small population shifts can drive significant percentage changes. Residents may find the 69.2% drop in violent crime particularly reassuring, as it aligns with the area’s generally low violence profile.

Mynydd Isa's crime rate in April 2023 dropped to 2.8 per 1,000 residents, a 40.8% decrease from the previous month’s 4.8 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as spring’s milder weather and Easter holidays may have shifted activity away from high-risk environments. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the month—a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 5,630. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for approximately every 352 residents, underscoring the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When contextualised against Flintshire’s broader demographics, Mynydd Isa’s crime profile appears markedly safer than the UK average, though local factors such as community engagement and policing strategies may contribute to this trend. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even small fluctuations in crime numbers can have outsized impacts on perceived safety, particularly in areas where crime is infrequent.
