Abergavenny Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Abergavenny's crime profile in November 2025 remains exceptionally low, with a total of just one reported crime across its population of 15,489 residents. This translates to a crime rate of 0.1 per 1,000, placing the area 98.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. The sole recorded incident was a drugs-related offence, which constitutes 100% of the total crimes reported. This category's rate (0.1 per 1,000) is 63% below the UK average for drugs offences (0.3 per 1,000), suggesting a broader trend of lower drug-related activity in the area. Seasonal factors in November, including the darkening evenings and the proximity of Bonfire Night, could influence crime patterns, though the absence of significant incidents indicates that local initiatives or community vigilance may be effective in mitigating risks. Abergavenny's built-up area within Monmouthshire, which blends rural and semi-urban characteristics, may benefit from lower population density and a more cohesive community structure, factors that could contribute to the area's consistently low crime rates. The month also coincided with Black Friday shopping, typically a period associated with increased retail crime, yet no such incidents were recorded, further highlighting the area's unusual tranquility. While direct causes for this low rate, the combination of a smaller population, limited commercial activity outside the town centre, and strong local governance likely plays a role in maintaining safety. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly during events like Bonfire Night, but the overall picture suggests a secure environment for the majority of the population.

November 2025 saw Abergavenny's crime rate remain at an exceptionally low level, with no month-on-month increases to report. The sole recorded crime—a drugs-related incident—was significantly below the UK average for this category, underscoring the area's relative safety. The absence of any other crime types, such as theft or violence, which are typically more common in urban or tourist-heavy areas, highlights the unique character of Abergavenny as a smaller, low-density community. This stark contrast to the UK average, where drugs offences alone account for a much higher proportion of total crimes, may reflect local enforcement strategies or demographic factors. For residents, the most concrete takeaway is that the single reported crime in November involved drugs, a category that is often associated with higher rates in larger towns and cities. While this does not indicate a worsening trend, it serves as a reminder that even in areas with low overall crime, specific categories can still occur. The lack of other incidents, however, suggests that the community's overall safety remains intact. The month's seasonal context—dark evenings and the approach of Christmas—could have influenced potential criminal activity, but the data shows no such increase, reinforcing the notion that Abergavenny's crime prevention measures are effective. Residents should continue to be aware of drug-related activity, particularly in areas with higher foot traffic, but the broader trend remains one of low crime and high security.

In November 2025, Abergavenny recorded just one crime over the course of 30 days, equating to roughly 0 crimes per day. This local figure, while not directly comparable to national daily statistics, illustrates the area's remarkably low crime frequency. On a monthly basis, this means that one crime occurred for every 15,489 residents, a figure that is vastly lower than the UK average. The population-scaled perspective reinforces the area's safety: for every resident in Abergavenny, the likelihood of experiencing a crime in November was effectively zero, compared to the UK average where the probability is significantly higher. The breakdown of crimes further highlights this disparity: the single drugs-related incident in Abergavenny was 63% below the UK average for this category, a gap that suggests either stronger local enforcement or a lower prevalence of drug-related activity. This comparison is particularly striking when considering Abergavenny's status as a built-up area within Monmouthshire, which typically sees higher crime rates than rural regions. The data implies that factors such as community cohesion, limited commercial activity outside the town centre, and possibly lower levels of transient populations contribute to the area's safety. While the UK average includes a broader mix of crime types, Abergavenny's narrow focus on a single category in November underscores the effectiveness of local crime prevention efforts. Residents can take comfort in knowing that their chances of encountering crime are vastly lower than the national average, though they should remain cautious about drug-related activity, which, while infrequent, is not entirely absent.
