Mynydd Isa Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violent crimes dominated the crime profile in Mynydd Isa during July 2024, accounting for 56.5% of all reported incidents. With 13 cases of violence and sexual offences recorded, this category far outpaced other types of crime, underscoring its role as the primary driver of criminal activity in the area. The overall crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents marked a significant 51.2% deficit compared to the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000, illustrating the area's relatively low exposure to crime. This contrast is particularly evident in property-related offences, which accounted for just 8.7% of all crimes—well below the UK average for similar categories. Seasonal factors likely influenced these patterns, as July's peak tourism season and extended daylight hours may have contributed to increased social activity and associated risks. The low prevalence of shoplifting (4.4% of total crimes) and public order offences (13.0%) further suggests that Mynydd Isa's built-up character, potentially shaped by its location within Flintshire, creates an environment where community engagement and local policing efforts help mitigate more disruptive forms of crime. While the area's overall safety remains strong, the prominence of violent incidents highlights the need for targeted interventions to address underlying social dynamics, particularly during months when the population swells due to tourism or seasonal events.

July 2024 saw a 200% increase in anti-social behaviour, with incidents rising from one to three. This surge aligns with the summer season, when extended daylight hours and outdoor events may contribute to heightened social interactions. Other theft also doubled, reflecting a 100% rise from one to two incidents—a trend consistent with increased retail activity during peak tourist periods. Theft from the person, though still low overall, exceeded the UK average by 18%, suggesting a localized vulnerability during the month. The breakdown reveals that violent crimes, accounting for 56.5% of all incidents, remain significantly below the UK average for this category (19% below). This contrast highlights the area's unique dynamics, where community cohesion and local policing efforts may play a role in mitigating more severe criminal activity. Residents are advised to remain vigilant in public spaces, particularly during late evening hours when anti-social behaviour incidents are most frequently reported.

Mynydd Isa's crime rate in July 2024 rose to 4.1 per 1,000 residents, a 64.3% increase from the previous month's 2.5 per 1,000. This shift reflects a notable uptick in reported incidents, though the area still maintains a significantly lower crime rate than the UK average. On a daily basis, the local figure stands at approximately one crime per day across the 31-day period, highlighting a consistent but manageable level of activity. When considering the monthly exposure, residents faced a 1-in-245 chance of experiencing a reported crime during July—a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents within the population. While the increase suggests a potential seasonal influence, such as heightened foot traffic during summer months or events tied to the local area, the overall rate remains well below national benchmarks, indicating a resilient community profile. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that, despite the rise, the area's crime burden remains proportionally light compared to the UK context.
