Mynydd Isa Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Mynydd Isa’s crime rate for April 2025 (3.2 per 1,000 residents) places it 58.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the area’s relative safety compared to the national picture. This built-up area within Flintshire, while small in population (5,630 residents), exhibits a crime profile shaped by both its geographical characteristics and seasonal rhythms. The most prevalent crime category in April was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 33.3% of total reported incidents (6 cases). This figure, while representing a 64.7% drop from March’s 17 cases, still exceeds the UK average for this category by 58% (2.6 per 1,000). Other theft (16.7%) and shoplifting (16.7%) followed closely, with both categories showing significant discrepancies from national benchmarks — other theft matched the UK average exactly, while shoplifting fell 24% below it. The seasonal context of April, marked by Easter and the onset of spring, may contribute to these patterns, as increased outdoor activity could both drive certain crimes (like shoplifting) and reduce others (such as violence, linked to holiday-related disruptions). The low overall crime rate, coupled with its pronounced deviation from the UK average, suggests that Mynydd Isa operates within a distinct crime environment, one where small population size, limited urban density, and seasonal factors likely play a more pronounced role than in larger, more densely populated areas.

April 2025 saw a dramatic 64.7% decline in violence and sexual offences, reducing this category’s share of total crimes from 17 to 6. This drop may partly reflect the Easter holiday period, which often disrupts patterns of public interaction. Conversely, other theft cases surged by 200%, rising from one to three incidents — a jump that, while statistically significant, remains modest in absolute terms given the area’s small population. Vehicle crime also doubled, with one reported incident in April compared to none in March, a shift that could be linked to increased outdoor activity during spring. Anti-social behaviour cases also doubled, though this category still remains well below the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. These fluctuations illustrate the combination of seasonal rhythms and local crime dynamics, with some categories responding more sharply to environmental changes than others.

Mynydd Isa's crime rate in April 2025 (3.2 per 1,000 residents) represents an 18.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.9 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in similar small built-up areas during early spring, when seasonal transitions may reduce certain types of activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for continued vigilance. When scaled to the local population of 5,630, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 313 residents — a statistic that, when contextualised against the UK average, highlights the area’s relative safety. This monthly aggregate suggests that residents face significantly lower risks compared to the national picture, though the absolute numbers remain small enough to warrant attention to specific fluctuations, such as the doubling of vehicle crime and the sharp rise in other theft cases.
