Church Village Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Church Village, 3.3 crimes were reported in September 2025 — a rate that is 55.4% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This translates to one reported crime for every 303 residents over the course of the month, offering a concrete measure of risk for local households. The crime profile reveals a distinct emphasis on violent offences, which accounted for 40.4% of all reports, followed by public order issues (17.0%) and other theft (10.6%). These patterns align with the area's seasonal rhythm: September marks the start of the academic year, a time when increased foot traffic and youth activity may contribute to both public order incidents and theft opportunities. The low overall rate, however, suggests that the area's built-up nature within Rhondda Cynon Taf — a region with a mix of urban and rural characteristics — may foster a crime environment that balances accessibility with community cohesion. The drop in vehicle crime, for instance, may reflect fewer summer-related events reducing opportunities for such offences. Meanwhile, the persistence of violent crime as the leading category could indicate ongoing challenges in managing interpersonal conflicts, though the rate remains lower than national benchmarks.

September saw a 400% surge in other theft cases, rising from 1 to 5 incidents — a shift that may reflect increased activity during back-to-school periods. Concurrently, theft from the person doubled, rising from 0 to 2 cases, potentially linked to heightened foot traffic in local areas. These increases contrast sharply with an 85.7% drop in vehicle crime, which fell from 7 to 1 incident, due to reduced summer events. The breakdown also reveals that violence and sexual offences remain 50% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may reflect local community initiatives or demographic factors. Meanwhile, public order offences — the second most common category — exceed the UK average by 11%, a figure that could align with seasonal transitions as nights draw in.

Church Village's September 2025 crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents translates to roughly 2 crimes reported daily, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 303 residents — a monthly exposure rate that, while not zero, remains significantly lower than the UK average. This statistic suggests that for the average resident, the likelihood of encountering crime is relatively low compared to national trends. The rate itself marks a 25.3% decline from August's 4.4 per 1,000, reflecting a consistent downward trend that may align with seasonal patterns. With 14,219 residents, the area's population size ensures that crime distribution remains spread out, further reducing the probability of individual exposure. This lower density, combined with the area's built-up nature within Rhondda Cynon Taf, may contribute to a crime profile that balances urban accessibility with rural tranquillity.
