Monmouthshire Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Monmouthshire's September 2025 crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents places it 100% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, highlighting an exceptional level of safety. With a population of 94,930, the area recorded just 2 total crimes—both classified as violent—accounting for 100% of the monthly total. This stark contrast to the UK average, where violent crimes alone sit at 2.6 per 1,000, underscores Monmouthshire's unique crime profile. The absence of property crimes or other categories suggests a distinct local pattern, potentially influenced by the area's rural character and limited urban density. Seasonal context may also play a role, as September marks the transition from summer holidays to the academic year, with reduced foot traffic in public spaces. The low crime rate aligns with Monmouthshire's historical safety record, though the extreme drop from August's 7.3 per 1,000 rate raises questions about temporary factors, such as the timing of local events or law enforcement initiatives. The data also highlights the importance of contextualising crime statistics within the area's geographic and demographic profile, as Monmouthshire's low population density likely contributes to its consistently low crime rates compared to more densely populated regions.

September 2025 saw a dramatic -99.1% decrease in violent crimes, with only 2 incidents reported compared to 230 in August. This represents a near-total collapse in violent crime activity, far exceeding the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The crime mix in Monmouthshire remains overwhelmingly violent, with 100% of reported incidents falling into this category—significantly diverging from the UK's broader distribution of crime types. Residents may find the daily crime rate of 0 per day particularly reassuring, though this figure must be contextualised against the area's seasonal rhythms. The absence of property crimes or other categories suggests a unique local dynamic, possibly linked to Monmouthshire's rural character and limited urban centres. Such a stark contrast to the previous month's figures warrants further observation of whether this trend persists into the autumn months.

Monmouthshire's September 2025 crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents marks a steep decline from the previous month's rate of 7.3 per 1,000, reflecting a -99.7% decrease. This drop positions the area as exceptionally low-risk compared to the UK average, where violent crimes alone sit at 2.6 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show an average of 0 crimes per day over the 30-day period, translating to a monthly exposure of 1 crime for every 47,465 residents. For context, this means that in a population of nearly 95,000, the likelihood of encountering a reported crime in September was effectively zero. The stark contrast to the previous month's figures suggests a possible seasonal shift, with the transition into autumn potentially reducing opportunities for crime in public spaces. While no UK daily crime comparison exists, the local data underscores Monmouthshire's consistent safety profile, even when accounting for fluctuations in population movement during the academic year.
