Yeadon Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Yeadon’s crime rate in June 2025 (10.4 per 1,000 residents) places it 28.4% above the UK average of 8.1, marking a stark contrast to the national picture. This built-up area within Leeds experiences a high incidence of violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 46% of all reported incidents—nearly double the UK average for this category. The area’s crime profile is further shaped by a sharp rise in shoplifting and burglary, which are 75% and 186% above the UK average respectively. These figures are consistent with the characteristics of an urban environment, where high foot traffic in retail zones and the density of residential properties may contribute to property-related offences. Seasonal factors also appear to play a role: the start of summer, with its longer days and increased tourism, may have amplified activity in public spaces, exacerbating violence and anti-social behaviour. However, the data also reveals some anomalies, such as anti-social behaviour being 65% below the UK average, which may reflect local initiatives or demographic differences. The interplay between urban density, seasonal activity, and specific crime types suggests that targeted interventions in high-risk areas could help mitigate the upward trend. The prominence of violent crimes, particularly in the early summer months, may be linked to increased social interactions and events typical of this time of year, though further analysis would be required to confirm this hypothesis.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in burglary (up 100%), other theft (up 100%), and other crime (up 100%), while shoplifting and vehicle crime both decreased. These shifts reflect a marked rise in property-related offences, which now constitute 52% of all crimes (compared to 46% in May), indicating a growing imbalance between violent and property crimes. Violence and sexual offences remain significantly above the UK average (68% higher), as do shoplifting (75% higher) and burglary (186% higher). Conversely, anti-social behaviour is 65% below the UK average, suggesting a possible focus on addressing more severe crimes. For residents, the 100% increase in burglary underscores the need for heightened vigilance, particularly during the summer months when outdoor activity may contribute to such incidents. The decrease in shoplifting, however, may indicate the success of targeted retail security measures.

Yeadon’s crime rate in June 2025 (10.4 per 1,000 residents) marks a 38.3% increase from the previous month’s rate of 7.5 per 1,000, reflecting a notable upward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately five crimes each day, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in a built-up area within Leeds. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 97 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the proportion of the population affected by crime. When scaled to the area’s population of 13,226, this rate translates to a persistent presence of criminal activity that demands attention. While the overall rate remains higher than the UK average, the comparison to the previous month reveals a sharper focus on violent and property crimes, which may be influenced by seasonal factors such as the start of the summer period. These figures, when contextualised within Yeadon’s urban environment, suggest that community engagement and local policing strategies may need recalibration to address the current trajectory.
