Yeadon Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Yeadon's crime rate in June 2023 remained 10.6% below the UK average, standing at 7.6 per 1,000 residents. This figure places the built-up area within Leeds among the safer parts of the country, though it reflects a combination of local factors and national trends. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 40% of all reported incidents, followed by other theft at 13%. These figures highlight the persistent challenge of violent crime in the area, despite its overall lower crime profile. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may have influenced these patterns, with increased daylight hours potentially affecting both crime opportunities and community activity. However, the 3.0 per 1,000 rate for violence and sexual offences is 3% above the UK average, suggesting that targeted interventions may still be necessary. Other theft, at 1.0 per 1,000, was 54% above the UK average, indicating a particular vulnerability in this category. The lower rates of anti-social behaviour (66% below UK average) and shoplifting (63% below) could be attributed to Yeadon's character as a built-up area within Leeds, where community engagement and local policing may contribute to reduced incidents. The data also shows that criminal damage and arson (0.6 per 1,000) were 6% below the UK average, pointing to effective measures in this area. Overall, Yeadon's crime profile illustrates a balance between local resilience and specific challenges, requiring nuanced approaches to maintain its relative safety.

June 2023 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Yeadon. The category of 'Other crime' increased by 33.3%, rising from 6 to 8 incidents, while 'Drugs' rose by 50.0% (2 to 3). These increases contrast with sharp declines in public order offences (-58.3%) and anti-social behaviour (-53.3%), which fell to 5 and 7 incidents respectively. The area's violent crime rate (3.0 per 1,000) was 3% above the UK average for this category, despite the overall crime rate being 10.6% below the national figure. This divergence illustrates the complexity of crime distribution, with violence remaining a persistent concern even in a relatively low-crime area. The drop in bicycle theft (-50.0%) and shoplifting (-63% below UK average) may reflect seasonal trends, with longer daylight hours and increased outdoor activity potentially deterring such crimes. For residents, the 20.7% month-on-month decline in overall crime offers a clear indicator of the area's recent trajectory, though the rise in 'Other crime' deserves closer attention.

Yeadon's crime rate in June 2023 stood at 7.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 20.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 9.5 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the area's generally lower crime profile compared to the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes per day over the month, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. When viewed through a population-scaled lens, the monthly exposure to crime translates to one reported crime for every 132 residents in Yeadon. This ratio provides a tangible measure of how frequently crime intersects with daily life in the area, though it remains distinct from broader national comparisons. The drop in overall crime rate contrasts with the UK's average trajectory, highlighting Yeadon's relative stability. While the daily crime count is a local metric without a UK counterpart, the population-scaled exposure offers insight into how crime distribution varies across communities. This data suggests that Yeadon's built-up character within Leeds may contribute to its lower crime rates compared to larger urban centres, though seasonal factors like the start of summer could also play a role.
