Nailsea Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Nailsea, 4.6 crimes were recorded in May 2025, placing the area 43.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective translates to a low but tangible risk for residents, with one crime occurring for every 219 people over the course of the month. The crime profile highlights a mix of violent and property-related incidents, with violence and sexual offences (28 cases, 35.4% of total) and anti-social behaviour (17 cases, 21.5%) dominating. Seasonal factors in May—such as longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising—may partly explain the 35.4% share of violent crimes, which remain lower than the UK average. Property crimes, while less prevalent than in other areas, saw burglary (11 cases) rise sharply, a category where Nailsea’s rate is 114% above the UK average. This contrast suggests that while the area’s built-up nature may contribute to lower violent crime through community cohesion, localised factors like specific housing stock or transient populations could drive higher burglary rates. The overall crime rate, though low, indicates that residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or during late-night hours.

May 2025 saw dramatic month-on-month increases in burglary (+266.7%), public order offences (+150%), and anti-social behaviour (+142.9%), with burglary jumping from 3 to 11 incidents. These spikes, particularly in burglary, contrast sharply with the 114% above UK average rate for this category, indicating a localised anomaly. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by 80%, aligning with the area’s 75% below UK average for this type. The breakdown also reveals that violence and sexual offences—accounting for 35.4% of all crimes—remain 43% below the UK average, suggesting that Nailsea’s community dynamics may contribute to lower violent crime rates despite seasonal factors like longer evenings. Residents might find the 1-in-219 monthly exposure figure particularly relevant, as it contextualises risk in terms of everyday interactions within the built-up area.

Nailsea's crime rate in May 2025 rose to 4.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 61.1% increase from the previous month’s 2.8. This upward trend, though still well below the UK average, reflects shifts in local patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly three reported crimes per day, a figure that translates to a tangible presence in community life. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 219 residents, a rate that, while low, underscores the importance of vigilance in public spaces. The population context—Nailsea’s 17,335 residents—further highlights that even modest increases in crime can be amplified in smaller communities. This monthly exposure figure, when paired with the area’s built-up character, suggests that targeted local initiatives may be necessary to address emerging trends, particularly in categories like burglary and anti-social behaviour that saw sharp month-on-month rises.
