Mynydd Isa Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Mynydd Isa's crime rate in March 2025 stood at 3.9 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 50% below the UK average of 7.8. This relative safety, despite the month-on-month rise in violent crimes, reflects the built-up area's unique characteristics as a small community within Flintshire. The crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 77.3% of all incidents (17 out of 22), far exceeding the share of property crimes (9.1%) and other categories. This stark imbalance suggests that local dynamics—such as the area's proximity to larger urban centres and its seasonal transition in March—may influence patterns of interpersonal conflict. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.7 per 1,000, meaning Mynydd Isa's rate is 10% higher, though still significantly lower than the national average. Meanwhile, public order offences (2 incidents) and other thefts (1 incident) both fell below UK averages by 27% and 60% respectively, illustrating the area's resilience in managing non-violent crime. The seasonal context of March, with its clock change and lengthening evenings, may have contributed to the surge in violent incidents, though the exact drivers remain to be explored. These figures, when considered alongside the area's small population of 5,630, underscore the need for targeted analysis of localized factors affecting crime trends.

March 2025 saw a dramatic 325% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from four to 17 incidents. This surge, which now accounts for 77.3% of total crimes, starkly contrasts with the 50% drop in criminal damage and arson, which fell from two to one. The violent crime rate (3.0 per 1,000) is 10% above the UK average for this category, suggesting localized pressures that may relate to seasonal transitions. Meanwhile, public order offences fell by 33.3%, and other thefts rose by 100%—the latter marking a new category entirely for the month. These shifts highlight a growing imbalance between violent and property crimes, with the former now dominating the crime profile. For residents, the 17 violent incidents represent a 425% increase from the previous month's four, underscoring the urgency of understanding this trend within the area's context.

Mynydd Isa's crime rate in March 2025 rose sharply to 3.9 per 1,000 residents, an 83.6% increase from the previous month's 2.1. This shift, while significant, still places the area 50% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show one reported crime for every 31 days, translating to roughly one incident per day across the 5,630 residents. Over the course of March, this equates to one crime for every 256 residents, a figure that highlights the relatively low exposure compared to national trends. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Mynydd Isa remains a low-crime environment despite the month-on-month rise. While the increase in violent crimes dominates the data, the persistence of below-average rates for property crimes and public order offences suggests structural factors—such as the area's rural-urban mix—continue to temper overall risk. These metrics, when viewed alongside the area's small population, provide a nuanced picture of local safety that contrasts with broader UK patterns.
