Mynydd Isa Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 marked a significant shift in Mynydd Isa's crime profile, with the most dramatic change being the doubling of drug-related crimes and anti-social behaviour compared to May. The area's overall crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 — 45.7% below the UK average — underscores its status as a relatively low-risk built-up area. Violent crimes dominated the statistics, accounting for 60% of the 25 total incidents, yet this category remains 6% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. The seasonal context of June — the start of summer and the beginning of tourism in nearby coastal and rural areas — may have influenced patterns. The minimal property crime rate (1 incident) contrasts sharply with the surge in other categories, suggesting a focus on interpersonal conflicts over theft or vandalism. While the 38.8% rise in the overall rate compared to May is notable, the area's crime burden remains significantly lower than national benchmarks, with 5,630 residents experiencing only one reported crime for every 225 people over the month. This low-level crime environment, combined with the absence of major property-related offences, aligns with Mynydd Isa's character as a smaller built-up area with limited commercial or industrial activity.

June 2025 saw a dramatic spike in drug-related crimes, which doubled from zero to one incident — a 100% increase. This surge, coupled with a similar rise in 'other crime' and anti-social behaviour (both up 100%), points to a notable shift in crime dynamics. Violent crimes, while remaining the most common category (60% of total), are 6% below the UK average for this type. Conversely, 'other crime' is 212% above the UK average, a stark contrast that warrants attention. The sharp decline in criminal damage and arson — down 66.7% from three incidents in May — suggests a temporary reduction in property-related offences. For residents, the increase in anti-social behaviour (now 12% of total crimes) may signal heightened tensions in public spaces during the early summer months.

Mynydd Isa's crime rate in June 2025 rose 38.8% compared to 3.2 per 1,000 in May, yet remains 45.7% below the UK average of 8.1. This translates to one reported crime for every 225 residents over the month — a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents in a localised way. Daily crime counts averaged 1 incident per day, a rate consistent with the area's low overall crime profile. When compared to the previous month, the increase reflects a shift in crime patterns, with violent crimes accounting for 60% of the total and property crimes remaining minimal. This 38.8% rise in the overall rate, however, is dwarfed by the UK average, highlighting Mynydd Isa's persistent position as a relatively safer built-up area. The population context further underscores that, despite the increase, the area's crime burden remains significantly lower than national benchmarks, with 5,630 residents experiencing a crime rate that is less than half of the UK's average.
