Mynydd Isa Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Mynydd Isa’s crime profile in July 2023, accounting for 61.5% of all reported crimes. This stark contrast to the UK average of 8.3 crimes per 1,000 residents highlights the area’s significantly lower overall crime rate of 2.3 per 1,000. While the UK experiences a broad mix of property and violent crimes, Mynydd Isa’s data reveals a striking imbalance: 8 violent crimes compared to just 2 property crimes. This pattern aligns with the area’s likely character as a smaller, built-up community within Flintshire, where social interactions and proximity may contribute to higher visibility of violent incidents. July, a peak summer month with schools out and potential for festivals or outdoor events, may exacerbate such trends. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.8 per 1,000, yet Mynydd Isa’s rate of 1.4 per 1,000 is 50% below that benchmark, suggesting local factors—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—could play a role. Anti-social behaviour, though a smaller share of total crimes (15.4%), still falls 72% below the UK average, reinforcing the area’s overall safety profile. The low property crime rate, particularly burglary (0.2 per 1,000 compared to the UK’s 0.3), may reflect lower foot traffic or residential density. While these figures do not confirm causation, they illustrate a crime picture shaped by seasonal dynamics and the built-up area’s unique context.

July 2023 saw a 75% decrease in anti-social behaviour, dropping from 8 to 2 incidents—a shift that may reflect the impact of summer holidays reducing local congregation in public spaces. Conversely, drugs-related crimes rose by 100%, increasing from 0 to 1 report, though this remains a rare occurrence in the area. The dominance of violent crimes—8 out of 13 total—contrasts sharply with the UK’s 50% violent-crime share, indicating a local imbalance that warrants attention. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.4 per 1,000, are 50% below the UK average, suggesting effective community measures or policing in this category. The property crime rate, at 0.4 per 1,000 (anti-social behaviour) and 0.2 per 1,000 (burglary), is 70-72% below UK averages, reinforcing Mynydd Isa’s position as a safer area for property-related concerns. Residents may find the 72.3% below UK average figure particularly notable, as it underscores the area’s consistently lower crime levels despite seasonal fluctuations.

Mynydd Isa’s crime rate in July 2023 (2.3 per 1,000) marked a 31.5% decline from the previous month’s rate of 3.4 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained downward trend. Daily crime context reveals an average of 0 reported crimes per day over the 31-day period—a figure that, while statistically low, may mask occasional spikes tied to specific events. On a monthly scale, the area experienced 1 reported crime for every 433 residents, translating to a 1-in-433 chance of being directly affected. This statistic, when contextualised with Mynydd Isa’s population of 5,630, suggests that the community’s relatively small size and lower population density may contribute to the low exposure rate. Comparing this to the UK’s broader context, where the average resident faces a 1-in-122 chance of a crime in a given month, Mynydd Isa’s figures highlight a markedly safer environment. The combination of a 31.5% month-on-month reduction and the area’s already low crime base indicates a possible stabilisation in local policing or community initiatives. However, the absence of UK-specific daily or monthly exposure figures means direct comparisons remain speculative, though the data strongly implies a safer living environment for residents compared to national averages.
