Undy and Magor Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of around 6,000, 36 reported crimes in June 2025 equate to a crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 27.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This relatively low rate reflects the area’s character as a rural built-up zone within Monmouthshire, where crime patterns tend to be influenced by seasonal rhythms and local demographics. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of all crimes, followed by other theft (19.4%) and anti-social behaviour (13.9%), forming the top three categories. The prominence of violence-related incidents may be partly explained by the area’s proximity to larger urban centres, which can draw transient populations during the summer months. However, the overall rate remains well below the UK average, suggesting that local factors such as community cohesion, low population density, and limited commercial activity contribute to this trend. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may have influenced certain crime types, particularly public order offences, which are often linked to increased social interactions and tourism in rural areas. Anti-social behaviour, while a significant category, remains 44% below the UK average, a statistic that may reflect the area’s quieter, more insular nature compared to densely populated urban regions. The breakdown also reveals that vehicle crime and public order offences are both above the UK average, with vehicle crime at 0.5 per 1,000 and public order at 0.8 per 1,000, highlighting specific vulnerabilities that may require targeted local initiatives. These patterns, while distinct from the UK overall, are consistent with the area’s geographic and demographic profile, which combines rural isolation with pockets of built-up activity that can create unique crime dynamics.

June 2025 marked a sharp increase in public order offences, rising from one incident to five—a 400% month-on-month jump. This spike, though not uncommon during the summer months, may partly reflect the start of the tourism season in the area, which typically brings more foot traffic to public spaces. Vehicle crime also saw a dramatic 200% increase, growing from one to three incidents, possibly linked to changes in parking patterns or increased vehicle presence during the summer. In contrast, other theft offences decreased by 30%, from 10 to 7, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes in retail activity or heightened awareness among local businesses. The area’s violent crime rate, at 2.0 per 1,000 residents, remains 30% below the UK average for this category, a consistent trend that may be influenced by the community’s relatively low population density and stable social environment.

For the month of June 2025, Undy and Magor saw a 5.9% increase in the overall crime rate compared to the previous month, rising from 5.6 to 5.9 per 1,000 residents. This slight upward trend aligns with the typical seasonal patterns observed in rural built-up areas during the summer months, when increased foot traffic and tourism may temporarily elevate certain crime types. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, a figure that contextualises the monthly total of 36 incidents within the local rhythm of daily life. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 169 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK average. When scaled to the area’s population of 6,071, this rate highlights that the vast majority of residents remain unaffected by crime on a monthly basis, though the seasonal influx of visitors may occasionally influence local crime dynamics.
