Yatton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Yatton's crime profile in November 2025 continues to diverge from the UK average, with an overall rate of 5.2 per 1,000 residents — 28.8% below the national figure. This performance underscores the area's unique characteristics as a built-up district within North Somerset, where compact urban density and limited nightlife may temper certain crime trends. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime mix, accounting for 39.2% of all incidents, a share that remains 22% below the UK average. This disparity may be attributed to Yatton's smaller population and the absence of major commercial hubs that typically correlate with higher violent crime rates. Anti-social behaviour followed closely at 17.7%, also 15% below the UK average, suggesting that community cohesion and local policing efforts are likely contributing factors. The seasonal context of November — with its dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping — likely influenced patterns, though the overall rate remains firmly below national benchmarks. While property crimes (14 cases) constituted 27.5% of the total, violent crimes (20 cases) were more prominent, a balance that contrasts with larger urban centres where property crime often dominates. This mix may reflect Yatton's role as a commuter hub with limited retail presence, reducing opportunities for shoplifting and vehicle crime. The data also reveals a 52% UK deficit in shoplifting, with only 3 cases recorded, a figure that may align with the area's lower foot traffic during the holiday season. These patterns, when viewed through the lens of Yatton's geography and demographics, illustrate a crime environment shaped more by seasonal rhythms and local infrastructure than by broader national trends.

November 2025 saw a sharp 66.7% rise in violence and sexual offences, driven by a jump from 12 to 20 incidents. This increase, though significant, still leaves the rate 22% below the UK average, a discrepancy that may partly reflect Yatton's compact built-up area and limited nightlife. Burglary and public order offences both doubled from October, with burglary reaching 4 incidents (0.4 per 1,000) — 33% above the UK average. This anomaly contrasts with the 52% UK deficit in shoplifting, which fell to 3 cases from 7 in October. Vehicle crime halved, aligning with the 75% UK deficit and possibly influenced by reduced commuter traffic during the holiday season. Anti-social behaviour, at 9 cases, remained 15% below the UK average, a trend consistent with the area's relatively quiet public spaces.

Yatton's crime rate in November 2025 rose to 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a 24.5% increase from the previous month's 4.2. This upward trend, though modest, contrasts with the area's consistent performance relative to the UK average. Daily crime statistics show roughly 2 incidents per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the area's small population of 9,831. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 193 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When contextualised against the UK average, Yatton's overall crime rate remains 28.8% below the national figure. This resilience is notable given the seasonal pressures of November, including extended darkness and the Black Friday shopping rush. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Yatton's crime environment, while not immune to fluctuations, continues to diverge from the broader UK trend.
