Mynydd Isa Crime Rate December 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Mynydd Isa, 2.8 crimes were reported in December 2023—61.1% below the UK average of 7.2 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of roughly 1 in 352 residents encountering a crime over the course of the month. The area's crime profile was shaped by seasonal dynamics, with Christmas shopping, extended evenings, and holiday-related activity likely influencing patterns. Violence and sexual offences (43.8% of total crimes) remained the most common category, followed by anti-social behaviour (25.0%) and public order incidents (18.8%). While property crimes were rare (2 incidents), the prominence of violent crime contrasts with the UK average, where property offences typically dominate. The low overall rate suggests a community with relatively strong social cohesion, though the presence of violence-related incidents indicates targeted interventions may be needed. The month's dark evenings and transient population during the festive period may have contributed to a rise in public order offences, though the exact causal links remain speculative. Residents should remain vigilant during late-night hours, particularly in areas with higher foot traffic, while the overall safety profile remains markedly better than national benchmarks.

December 2023 marked a 77.5% increase in Mynydd Isa's crime rate compared to November, driven by sharp rises in specific categories. Public order offences surged by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents), a jump that may reflect heightened tensions during festive gatherings or increased enforcement visibility. Anti-social behaviour also doubled (from 0 to 4 cases), potentially linked to the holiday season's impact on community dynamics. Violence and sexual offences rose by 40% (from 5 to 7), though they still remain 54% below the UK average for this category. Property crimes remained exceptionally low, with only 2 incidents reported—64–66% below UK averages for criminal damage and other theft. This stark contrast between violent and property crime trends suggests that local factors, such as the area's built-up character and proximity to Flintshire's rural expanse, may play a role in shaping risk profiles. Residents should be aware that while the overall crime rate remains low, the increase in violent incidents underscores the need for continued community engagement and targeted policing strategies.

Mynydd Isa's crime rate in December 2023 (2.8 per 1,000) represented a 77.5% increase from the previous month's rate of 1.6 per 1,000, though it remains well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 1 crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that contextualises the risk as relatively low for residents. When scaled to the population of 5,630, this equates to a monthly exposure of roughly 1 crime for every 352 residents—a statistic that, while illustrative of the area's safety, should be interpreted with caution. The comparison to the UK average highlights the area's distinctiveness: while violence and sexual offences are 54% below national levels, public order offences are slightly above the UK average (4% higher). This anomaly may reflect local challenges related to community policing or transient populations during the festive season. Despite the month-on-month rise, the overall crime rate remains in a historically low bracket, suggesting that Mynydd Isa's built-up character and proximity to Flintshire's rural landscape may contribute to its unique safety profile. Residents should consider these statistics alongside broader contextual factors, such as seasonal variations and local initiatives, when assessing personal risk.
