Yeadon Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Yeadon's November 2023 crime rate of 10.4 per 1,000 residents places it 38.7% above the UK average of 7.5, a figure that highlights the area's unique challenges. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark disparity in categories, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 33.6% of all reported incidents (46 cases), significantly exceeding the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 (35% above). This concentration of violent crime likely reflects Yeadon's position within Leeds, where urban density and social dynamics may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal conflict. Shoplifting, the second-most common category, occurred at a rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents—191% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This anomaly may be linked to the month's seasonal context, including Black Friday shopping and the proximity of Yeadon to retail hubs in Leeds. Anti-social behaviour (11.7% of total crimes) and public order offences (7.3%) further illustrate the area's struggle with community-level disruptions. While the overall rate is elevated, the distribution of crime types suggests that targeted interventions in retail zones and public spaces could yield measurable results. The seasonal transition to darker evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night may have also contributed to the persistence of anti-social behaviour and public order issues, though these factors require further analysis to confirm their direct impact.

November saw a 133.3% increase in 'other crime' and a 100% rise in robbery, suggesting emerging patterns in unclassified offences. Shoplifting, already 191% above the UK average, remained the second-highest category (15.3% of total crimes), consistent with Black Friday's impact on retail areas. Anti-social behaviour (11.7% of total crimes) and public order offences (7.3%) also showed persistent local challenges. Burglary fell by 60% from 15 to 6 incidents, possibly linked to seasonal factors such as reduced foot traffic in the evenings. The sharp rise in 'other crime'—a category including fraud and cybercrime—may reflect increased online activity during the month. Residents are advised to remain vigilant in high-traffic areas, particularly during late-night hours.

Yeadon's crime rate in November 2023 (10.4 per 1,000 residents) remained 38.7% above the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, a persistent gap reflecting local conditions. The rate saw a 6.8% decline from the previous month’s 11.1 per 1,000, though this still positions Yeadon as a active area in the Leeds region. Daily crime statistics show an average of 5 reported crimes per day, highlighting the frequency of incidents in a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 97 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for households. When scaled to the population of 13,226, this rate underscores the need for community engagement strategies. While the overall rate has decreased slightly, the distribution of crime types remains uneven, with shoplifting and violent offences driving the statistics compared to national averages.
