Cwmavon Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Cwmavon, the crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 in November 2025 translates to a daily risk that is largely manageable. This figure, which is 35.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, suggests that the area’s per-capita safety is relatively strong compared to national trends. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 54.2% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (29.2%) and other crime (8.3%). These patterns align with seasonal factors: the month of November, with its dark evenings and Black Friday shopping, may have contributed to increased tensions in public spaces or targeted retail areas. The high proportion of violent crimes could also reflect the area’s demographics or local challenges, though without further data, it is difficult to pinpoint exact causes. Shoplifting and public order offences were both below the UK average, with shoplifting at 68% below and public order at 57% below. This contrast may indicate that Cwmavon’s retail and public spaces are less prone to these specific issues compared to other areas. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night and the start of the holiday shopping season—may have influenced the type and frequency of crimes, with darker evenings increasing the likelihood of violent incidents or anti-social behaviour. However, the overall crime rate remains low enough that the average resident is unlikely to experience a crime directly, reinforcing that the area’s safety profile is generally positive, albeit with pockets of concern that require attention.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 250% increase in anti-social behaviour, with cases rising from 2 to 7. This surge, though still below the UK average for the category (32% above), raises questions about local stressors or seasonal factors. Concurrently, 'other crime' also doubled, reaching 2 incidents, a 100% increase from the previous month. This category, which is 150% above the UK average, may include unclassified or emerging types of crime that warrant closer attention. Conversely, shoplifting and public order offences both fell, with shoplifting rising to 1 incident (68% below the UK average) and public order offences dropping by 50% to 1. These trends suggest a shifting crime mix, with anti-social behaviour and unspecified crimes gaining prominence. For residents, the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour is a tangible concern, as it may affect community cohesion and personal safety in public spaces.

In November 2025, Cwmavon’s crime rate rose slightly to 4.7 per 1,000 residents, a 4.2% increase from the previous month’s 4.5 per 1,000. This small upward trend suggests minimal fluctuation in local crime dynamics, though the overall rate remains significantly below the UK average. On a daily basis, Cwmavon recorded approximately 1 crime per day, a figure that translates to a manageable risk for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 212 residents, highlighting that the majority of the population experienced no direct involvement with crime. This monthly exposure rate underscores that while the area is not immune to crime, the frequency is low enough that most residents are unlikely to encounter it. The population-scaled perspective further reinforces that Cwmavon’s crime profile is relatively stable, with no sharp spikes or drops that would suggest a sudden shift in local conditions. This consistency may reflect the area’s established community structures or effective local policing efforts, though these factors remain speculative without further data.
