Aberfan Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Aberfan’s November 2025 crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 residents places it 74.0% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a stark contrast that underscores the area’s relative safety. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 53.9% of all reported incidents—7 incidents in total—while anti-social behaviour follows closely at 38.5% (5 incidents). These figures are consistent with a built-up area’s typical crime patterns, where interpersonal disputes and public order issues often take precedence. The seasonal context of November, marked by shorter daylight hours and events like Bonfire Night, may contribute to the rise in anti-social behaviour and violence, though the exact causal links remain speculative. Property crime remains exceptionally low, with burglary at just 1 incident (7.7% of total crimes), a figure that is 67% below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This suggests that the area’s socio-economic and demographic factors—possibly including a stable community structure or effective local policing—play a role in deterring property-related offences. The low overall crime rate, despite the month-on-month increases in certain categories, reflects Aberfan’s broader trend of maintaining safety standards that diverge from national norms. The absence of significant spikes in property crime, coupled with the relatively modest rise in violent incidents, points to a community that, while not immune to crime, benefits from a combination of environmental and social factors that mitigate risk.

Violence and sexual offences saw the most significant increase, rising by 75.0% from 4 to 7 incidents, a jump that positions this category as the most common crime type in the area. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 100.0%, climbing from 0 to 5 incidents, a shift that may reflect heightened tensions during November’s darker evenings or seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Burglary, though minimal at just 1 incident, also doubled from 0 to 1, suggesting a rare but notable uptick in property crime. These changes contrast with the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which stands at 2.6 per 1,000—61% below Aberfan’s rate. For residents, the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour may signal a need for increased community engagement or local policing efforts during peak hours. The data also highlights the area’s continued safety in property crime, with burglary remaining significantly below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000.

Aberfan's November 2025 crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 44.5% increase from the previous month’s 1.3 per 1,000, reflecting a modest upward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 540 residents, illustrating a low monthly exposure to crime in this built-up area. This translates to a daily average of approximately 0 crimes per day, a figure that highlights the rarity of incidents in the local context. When scaled to the area’s population of 7,014, the crime rate remains exceptionally low compared to the UK average, which stands at 7.3 per 1,000. The stark contrast underscores Aberfan’s status as a relatively safe area, though the month-on-month rise suggests potential shifts in local dynamics that warrant ongoing monitoring. The population-scaled perspective further reinforces the notion that residents face a markedly lower risk of crime than the national average, though the increase from October to November introduces a note of caution for community safety initiatives.
