Cwmavon Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Cwmavon, 3.5 crimes were reported in November 2024—a figure that places the area 53.9% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast to national trends suggests a unique local dynamic. The crime profile reveals a significant imbalance: over two-thirds of incidents (61.1%) involved violence and sexual offences, with 11 cases recorded. This concentration of violent crime is consistent with seasonal patterns in the area, where November’s dark evenings and Bonfire Night events may partly explain the elevated risk. Anti-social behaviour (11.1%) and criminal damage (11.1%) followed, though both remain well below UK averages. The relatively low property crime rate (16.7%)—just three incidents—contrasts with the UK’s higher proportion of theft and burglary cases. This suggests a community where interpersonal conflicts may dominate over property-focused crime. The month’s Black Friday shopping period, typically associated with retail crime spikes, appears to have had little impact here, with no corresponding rise in theft or shoplifting reports. This divergence from national trends could reflect local factors such as community cohesion or policing priorities. Residents may find the low property crime rate reassuring, but the high proportion of violent incidents highlights the need for situational awareness during evenings and public events.

November 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with three categories experiencing 100% increases compared to October. Other theft, criminal damage, and public order offences each rose from zero to one or one to two incidents. This suggests a possible spike in minor disturbances or property-related disputes. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell by 50% (from four to two cases), indicating a possible reduction in rowdy incidents or effective local interventions. The violent crime category, while remaining the largest single category (61.1% of total), was 15% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This could reflect a combination of local policing efforts and community factors. The rate of other theft (0.2 per 1,000) was 64% below the UK average, suggesting that personal property crime is less prevalent in Cwmavon than elsewhere. Residents may find the relatively low likelihood of encountering theft or burglary reassuring, though the sharp rise in public order offences warrants attention. whether these increases are isolated incidents or part of a broader trend.

Cwmavon’s crime rate in November 2024 remained stable at 3.5 per 1,000, matching the previous month’s figure. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period—a rate that places Cwmavon among the safest areas nationally. To put this in perspective, over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 283 residents. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which would equate to one crime for every 130 residents. The population context further underscores the area’s safety: with 5,094 residents, the low absolute number of crimes (18 total) indicates that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime directly. However, the concentration of violent crimes within this small number means that those affected may face higher personal risk. whether this reflects a targeted issue or broader patterns, but the low overall numbers suggest that the area’s crime profile is distinct from more densely populated or economically disadvantaged regions. This combination of stability and low incidence highlights Cwmavon’s position as a relatively secure community within the UK’s broader crime profile.
