Clevedon Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

September 2025 marked a mixed picture for Clevedon's crime profile, with some categories showing marked increases while others declined. The overall crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents places the area 36.5% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a consistent trend reflecting Clevedon's relatively low crime profile. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 33.7% of all reported crimes, followed by shoplifting (14.9%) and anti-social behaviour (13.9%). These figures align with Clevedon's character as a coastal built-up area, where high streets and leisure spaces may contribute to both violent incidents and retail-related crimes. Seasonal factors in September—such as the return of students to university and the transition from summer to autumn—likely influenced the crime mix, with nightlife areas potentially seeing increased reports of violence. However, the sharp rise in burglary (from one to five incidents) stands out as a significant concern. This spike, though still below the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), may be linked to the area's suburban layout, where homes near transport links or open spaces could be more vulnerable. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply by 44%, due to the end of summer holidays and reduced foot traffic in public areas. The data also reveals that shoplifting in Clevedon is 15% above the UK average, a trend that may be attributed to the town's retail presence, particularly in the high street. These patterns underscore the need for tailored local strategies, balancing vigilance against emerging threats like burglary with continued efforts to reduce shoplifting and maintain the area's generally low crime rate.

September 2025 saw a stark spike in burglary, with incidents rising from one to five—a 400% increase—raising immediate concerns for residents. This surge, though still below the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), contrasts sharply with the 44% drop in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 25 to 14 incidents. The category of 'other crime' also saw a 100% increase, moving from three to six reported incidents, a figure that now exceeds the UK average by 87%. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences. compared to August, remain the most prevalent category (33.7% of total crimes), though still 38% below the UK average. For residents, the sharp rise in burglary underscores the need for heightened vigilance in securing homes, particularly in areas near the town's retail and leisure hubs. The unexpected growth in 'other crime'—a vague but potentially concerning category—suggests a need for further local investigation into unclassified incidents.

Clevedon's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 4.7 per 1,000 residents, a 7.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.0 per 1,000. This downward trend aligns with the area's historically lower crime profile compared to the UK average, which remains 36.5% higher at 7.4 per 1,000. Locally, the monthly exposure figure indicates that one crime was reported for every 214 residents over the course of the month, underscoring the relatively low frequency of incidents. Daily crime context reveals an average of three crimes per day in Clevedon, a figure that, while specific to the area, highlights the manageable scale of incidents. When compared to the UK's broader context, Clevedon's performance in categories like violence and sexual offences (33.7% of total crimes, 38% below the UK average) and anti-social behaviour (40% below the UK average) reinforces the area's distinct crime profile. These figures suggest that Clevedon's built-up character, likely influenced by its coastal location and suburban demographics, contributes to a crime environment that diverges from national trends.
