Mynydd Isa Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Mynydd Isa’s November 2024 crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents is 76.3% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently low level of criminal activity in this built-up area of Flintshire. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 60% of total incidents, though this category saw a 40% monthly decline from October’s 10 cases to November’s 6. The remaining 40% of crimes were split evenly between criminal damage and arson (20%) and other crime (20%), with the latter category far exceeding the UK average by 135%. Seasonal factors may have influenced these patterns, as November’s dark evenings and Bonfire Night events could have contributed to both the rise in property-related crimes and the drop in violent incidents. The overall low crime rate, combined with the sharp increase in non-violent crime, illustrates the combination of community dynamics and seasonal pressures. While Mynydd Isa remains one of the safest areas in the UK, the uptick in criminal damage and other crime suggests the need for targeted awareness campaigns, particularly around fire safety and unattended property. This data also highlights the importance of local initiatives that address emerging crime trends, even in areas with historically low crime rates.

November 2024 saw a sharp 100% increase in both criminal damage and arson, and other crime, with each category doubling from October’s figures. These rises occurred despite an overall 40% decline in violent crimes, which fell from 10 to 6. The shift in crime mix highlights a move away from violent incidents toward property-related and other unspecified crimes. Other crime in Mynydd Isa is 135% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the 30% deficit in criminal damage and arson. Residents should be aware of this uptick in non-violent crime, particularly as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping season overlap in November. While violent crime rates are significantly lower than the UK average, the increase in property-related incidents suggests a need for heightened vigilance around community assets and public spaces. The 100% rise in other crime, though small in absolute terms, may reflect underreported or emerging patterns that warrant further attention.

Mynydd Isa’s November 2024 crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents marks a 52.3% drop from the previous month’s rate of 3.7 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as significantly safer than the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, a gap that has widened over recent months. Daily crime statistics show just 0.33 crimes reported per day in November, reflecting a near-absent presence of criminal activity in this built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 563 residents, a figure that underscores the low likelihood of encountering crime for most residents. When scaled to the population of 5,630, this translates to a rare occurrence of crime, with the majority of residents experiencing no incidents. The drop in violent crime by 40% from October to November may partly explain the overall reduction, though the rise in criminal damage and other crime suggests localized factors are at play. This contrast between violent and property-related crime highlights the complexity of crime patterns in small communities, where seasonal events and community vigilance can shift trends rapidly.
