Kippax Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kippax’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.3 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 41.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This performance underscores the area’s relatively low crime profile, particularly when compared to other parts of the UK. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 65.1% of all recorded incidents, with a rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents—9% above the UK average for this category. This suggests that while Kippax is generally safer than the national average, targeted efforts may still be needed to address violent crime. Property-related offences, meanwhile, accounted for 34.9% of the total, with burglary (0.3 per 1,000) and criminal damage and arson (0.5 per 1,000) contributing to this share. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences were significantly lower than the UK average, with anti-social behaviour at 0.2 per 1,000 (81% below the UK rate) and public order offences at 0.2 per 1,000 (57% below). These figures reflect Kippax’s position as a built-up area within Leeds, where community-focused policing and the presence of local services may contribute to lower rates of disorderly conduct. Seasonal factors, such as the timing of Bonfire Night and the transition into the Christmas shopping period, likely influenced the spike in criminal damage and arson, which rose sharply in November. The area’s crime picture, therefore, illustrates a mix of stability in certain categories and emerging challenges in others, shaped by both local initiatives and broader seasonal dynamics.

November 2025 saw sharp increases in criminal damage and arson (+400%), vehicle crime (+100%), and burglary (+100%) compared to October, reflecting a notable spike in property-related offences. This shift contrasts with the 71.4% decline in anti-social behaviour, which fell from seven incidents to two—a drop that may partly explain the overall 13.3% rise in the crime rate. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category (65.1% of total crimes), with a rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents—9% above the UK average for this category. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour in Kippax was 81% below the UK average (0.2 vs 1.1 per 1,000), suggesting a strong local effort in managing public disorder. These trends highlight a complex balance between rising property crime and declining violent and anti-social incidents, with seasonal factors like Bonfire Night potentially influencing the surge in arson and damage-related offences.

Kippax’s November 2025 crime rate (4.3 per 1,000 residents) marks a 13.3% increase from the previous month’s 3.8 per 1,000.1% below the UK average. This upward shift, while modest, reflects local fluctuations rather than a broad trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents in a built-up urban setting. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 235 residents, a metric that highlights the relatively low frequency of crime in this part of Leeds. When scaled to the area’s population of 10,097, this suggests that most residents are unlikely to experience crime directly. However, the increase in specific categories, such as criminal damage and arson, raises questions about the interplay between seasonal events like Bonfire Night and local enforcement patterns. The contrast with the UK average—where violent crime rates are 9% higher in Kippax—also underscores the area’s distinct safety profile, shaped by its urban density and community-focused policing initiatives.
