Barmouth Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Barmouth's crime profile in December 2025 reveals a striking balance between property and violent crimes, with both categories accounting for 33.3% of the total 6 reported incidents. This equilibrium contrasts with the UK average, where violent crime typically constitutes a larger share of the overall rate. The area's overall crime rate of 0.9 per 1,000 residents is 87.1% below the national average of 7.0 per 1,000, highlighting Barmouth's exceptional security. The breakdown shows violence and sexual offences at 0.3 per 1,000 (33.3% of total), anti-social behaviour at the same rate, and criminal damage and arson at 0.3 per 1,000—each significantly below UK averages. This pattern may be influenced by the seasonal context of December, which includes reduced foot traffic due to holiday absences and the closure of some retail spaces. The low crime rate aligns with Barmouth's coastal geography, where limited nightlife and sparse population density may contribute to lower levels of violent crime. However, the equal distribution of property and violent crimes suggests that factors such as seasonal tourism or temporary changes in community activity could be at play. While the overall rate is extremely low, the balance between crime types indicates a need for continued monitoring of local patterns, particularly during months with similar seasonal dynamics.

December 2025 saw a dramatic 71.4% reduction in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 7 incidents in November to 2 in December. This sharp decline contrasts with the UK average for the same category, which stood at 2.6 per 1,000, placing Barmouth 88% below the national benchmark. The balance between property and violent crimes remained equal, with both categories contributing 33.3% of the total reported incidents. This parity suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns, possibly linked to the seasonal context of December, which includes dark evenings and holiday-related absences from homes. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage also fell significantly below UK averages, with rates 68% and 42% lower respectively. For residents, the 71.4% drop in violence and sexual offences provides a concrete indicator of improved safety during the festive period, though the low overall numbers mean the impact of such decreases remains relatively small in absolute terms.

Barmouth's crime rate in December 2025 dropped to 0.9 per 1,000 residents, a 68.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.9 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with the overall rate 87.1% below the national average of 7.0 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, reflecting an exceptionally low level of criminal activity. When scaled to the population of 6,573, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 1,096 residents—a figure that underscores the rarity of crime in this built-up area. This stark contrast to the UK average highlights Barmouth's unique security profile, likely influenced by its coastal geography and seasonal factors such as reduced foot traffic during the holiday period. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that residents face an extremely low risk of encountering crime compared to other parts of the country, with the drop from November to December representing a marked shift in local crime dynamics.
