Mynydd Isa Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Mynydd Isa recorded a crime rate of 7.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 12.8% below the UK average. This figure, while lower than the national benchmark, is shaped by the dominance of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 69.1% of all reported crimes. The area’s crime profile reflects a seasonal pattern typical of summer months, with increased activity likely driven by tourism, festivals, and the absence of school holidays. Violence and sexual offences, at 5.2 per 1,000, were 71% above the UK average, indicating a concentrated risk in this category that may be linked to the area’s social dynamics during peak season. Anti-social behaviour followed as the second most common category, contributing 14.3% of all crimes, though its rate was 29% below the UK average. This contrast highlights the complexity of local crime trends, where some categories align with national patterns while others deviate significantly. The relatively low rates of shoplifting and public order offences—both 69% below the UK average—suggest that retail and public spaces may not be as vulnerable in Mynydd Isa as in other parts of the country. These findings align with the area’s character as a built-up zone within Flintshire, where community interactions and seasonal events likely play a role in shaping crime patterns. The data also points to the need for targeted interventions in violent crime, particularly during months when social gatherings and outdoor activities increase, exacerbating tensions or opportunities for such offences.

July 2025 marked a significant surge in criminal damage and arson, which rose by 400% compared to the previous month, reflecting a sharp increase from one to five incidents. This spike, coupled with a 100% rise in anti-social behaviour (from three to six cases), highlights a shift in the crime mix toward more disruptive and property-related offences. Violence and sexual offences remained the dominant category, accounting for 69.1% of all reported crimes, a rate 71% above the UK average. This disparity underscores the area’s unique challenges, particularly in managing incidents that may be linked to summer events or increased social interactions. Conversely, shoplifting and public order offences fell below UK averages by 69%, suggesting that retail and public spaces may be less targeted than in other regions. These figures offer residents a clear snapshot of where crime prevention efforts may need to be prioritised, especially given the seasonal context.

July 2025 saw Mynydd Isa’s crime rate rise to 7.5 per 1,000 residents, a 68% increase from the previous month’s rate of 4.4. This shift underscores a marked uptick in local crime activity. below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in July, a figure that, while low, reflects the concentrated nature of incidents during the month. Over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 134 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, when contextualised against the area’s population of 5,630, illustrates the relatively sparse distribution of incidents. This contrast with the previous month highlights the seasonal volatility in crime patterns, potentially influenced by increased foot traffic during summer festivals and the absence of school holidays, which may have altered community dynamics. The population-scaled perspective further suggests that while crime is present, its frequency does not impact the area compared to broader UK trends.
