Bailrigg Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

April 2024 marked a period of relative stability in Bailrigg’s crime rate, which remained at 1.6 per 1,000 residents—79.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, while low, is consistent with the area’s character as a built-up part of Lancaster, likely featuring a mix of residential and possibly semi-rural elements. The most common crimes were other theft (3 incidents, 33.3% of total), followed by violence and sexual offences (2 incidents, 22.2%) and anti-social behaviour (2 incidents, 22.2%). The seasonal context of April—marked by the Easter period and spring weather—may have influenced patterns, such as increased outdoor activity linked to the rise in other theft. However, the overall rate did not reflect a significant increase, and the types of crime reported remain distinct from the UK average. For instance, violence and sexual offences in Bailrigg are 84% below the national average, a statistic that may reflect the area’s lower population density or more controlled community environment. The low crime rate, combined with the absence of major spikes in property or violent crime, suggests that Bailrigg continues to maintain a safer profile compared to the national average, though local factors such as seasonal transitions or specific events could influence future trends.

April 2024 saw three crime categories—vehicle crime, violence and sexual offences, and anti-social behaviour—all increase by 100% compared to March. This spike, though small in absolute terms (each category rose from 1 to 2 incidents), may reflect seasonal shifts in activity, such as increased foot traffic during the Easter period. While the overall crime rate remained stable, the distribution of crime types shifted slightly, with property crimes (4 incidents) now outpacing violent crimes (2 incidents). Violence and sexual offences in Bailrigg are 84% below the UK average (0.4 vs 2.6 per 1,000), suggesting a community environment where such incidents are exceptionally rare. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.4 per 1,000, is also 67% below the UK average, a figure that may align with Bailrigg’s character as a quieter, residential area with lower levels of public disorder.

Bailrigg's crime rate in April 2024 remained unchanged from March 2024, with both months reporting a rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents. This stability suggests no significant short-term shifts in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day in April, a figure that, while low, reflects the small number of incidents relative to the population. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for every 628 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. With a population of 5,649, the low crime figures place Bailrigg in stark contrast to the UK average, where 7.7 crimes occur per 1,000 residents. The local context—characterised by a relatively small, possibly residential-focused community—likely contributes to this discrepancy, though can be inferred from the data alone. The absence of a daily UK comparison underscores the uniqueness of Bailrigg’s crime profile within the broader national landscape.
