Barton-upon-Humber Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In Barton-upon-Humber, the crime rate for September 2025 stood at 4.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure 44.6% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of roughly 2 crimes per day — a statistic that, while low, provides a tangible sense of security for local residents. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 34.7% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (16.3%) and public order offences (12.2%). These figures reflect the area’s character as a smaller built-up community where interpersonal conflicts and community dynamics may play a role in crime patterns. The seasonal context of September — with the return to school and shorter evenings — likely influenced these trends. For example, the drop in violence and sexual offences could be linked to fewer young people in the area during the academic term, while anti-social behaviour remains consistently lower than the UK average, due to community cohesion or effective local policing. The relatively low crime rate compared to the UK average suggests that Barton-upon-Humber’s environment, shaped by its size and location, may contribute to a safer overall profile. However, the sharp increase in shoplifting and vehicle crime highlights the need for targeted measures in specific areas, such as retail zones or parking lots, where these crimes are more likely to occur. This data illustrates a community with generally low crime levels, but one that must remain vigilant against emerging patterns.

September 2025 saw sharp increases in shoplifting and vehicle crime, both rising 300% compared to August, reflecting a shift in criminal activity as the academic term began. This spike may partly explain the 48.5% decrease in violence and sexual offences, as fewer young people in the area could reduce incidents in nightlife or public spaces. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences remained lower than UK averages, with the former 40% below the national rate. However, possession of weapons rose 186% above the UK average, a stark anomaly that may indicate localized issues requiring attention. For residents, the 300% increase in shoplifting suggests heightened awareness at local stores, particularly around the start of the school term. These shifts illustrate how seasonal transitions and community dynamics influence crime patterns in Barton-upon-Humber.

Barton-upon-Humber’s crime rate in September 2025 fell 36.3% from the previous month’s 6.4 per 1,000 to 4.1 per 1,000. This decline aligns with typical seasonal patterns, as shorter evenings and the start of the academic term may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly 2 crimes reported each day — a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance in local communities. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 245 residents, a statistic that contextualises risk in relatable terms for residents. When compared to the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, Barton-upon-Humber remains significantly safer, though the local population’s smaller size means even minor fluctuations in crime numbers have a noticeable impact on per-capita rates. This population-scaled perspective highlights how crime statistics translate into everyday experiences for residents, offering a clearer sense of security than raw totals alone.
