Guiseley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Guiseley, 5.2 crimes were reported in November 2025 — 28.8% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This translates to a resident facing roughly one reported crime for every 193 people over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (38.6% of total), followed by burglary (12.3%) and criminal damage and arson (10.5%). These patterns align with seasonal factors: the month included Bonfire Night, which may have contributed to increased public order incidents, and Black Friday shopping, which could have influenced property crime trends. However, the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting Guiseley's built-up area within Leeds has a crime profile that diverges from national norms. Violent crime rates in Guiseley (2.0 per 1,000) are 22% below the UK average for this category, indicating a safer environment for residents in this aspect. The balance between property and violent crime also contrasts with broader UK trends, where property crime typically dominates. This may reflect Guiseley's mix of residential and commercial spaces, where community policing efforts or local demographics could play a role in shaping crime patterns. While seasonal transitions and darker evenings may influence crime dynamics, the overall stability of the rate compared to previous months suggests no immediate cause for alarm, though targeted awareness around specific crime types remains important.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with burglary increasing by 133.3% (3 to 7 incidents) — a stark contrast to the UK average burglary rate of 0.3 per 1,000, where Guiseley's 0.6 per 1,000 places it 100% above. This jump may be linked to seasonal factors such as festive home decorations creating temporary vulnerabilities or increased domestic activity during the holiday period. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 75.0% (4 to 1), potentially reflecting reduced outdoor activity during colder evenings or improved vehicle security measures. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 44.4% (9 to 5), though this decrease remains unexplained by the data. The crime mix shows a notable shift: while property crimes (24) were slightly lower than violent crimes (22), the proportion of violent crime (38.6% of total) is unusually high compared to national trends, where property crime typically dominates. This may be influenced by Guiseley's proximity to Leeds, where urban dynamics could contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. For residents, the most immediate concern is the doubling of burglary incidents — a 100% increase from October — which highlights the need for vigilance in securing homes during the holiday season. Meanwhile, bicycle theft (1 incident) rose 100% compared to October, a figure that, while small, suggests targeted awareness around bike storage in local parks and public areas may be warranted.

Guiseley's November 2025 crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 residents represents a slight -1.7% decrease from October's 5.3 per 1,000, indicating a stable trend over the past two months. This stability contrasts with the UK average, where Guiseley's rate remains 28.8% below the national figure of 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day in November — a figure that, while seemingly high, is contextualised by the local population of 11,000. When scaled to individual risk, the monthly exposure of 1 crime per 193 residents provides a more tangible measure of personal safety: if every resident were to experience the same distribution of crime, an average person would encounter one incident every 193 people over the course of the month. This is lower than the UK average, which would equate to a 1-in-140 resident exposure rate. The population-scaled perspective also highlights Guiseley's distinct position within Leeds: as a built-up area, it balances urban and suburban characteristics, which may contribute to its lower crime rate compared to densely populated parts of the city. While the overall rate remains stable, the sharp increase in burglary and the relative safety in other categories demonstrate how localised factors can shape crime patterns in ways that diverge from national averages.
