Rhondda Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rhondda's crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents in June 2025 places it 39.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently safer profile compared to national trends. This built-up area within Rhondda Cynon Taf sees violence and sexual offences as the dominant category, comprising 50% of all reported crimes. Public order offences (16.4%) and anti-social behaviour (13.6%) follow, with the latter significantly below the UK average. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may influence local activity patterns, though the data does not directly link these factors to specific crime types. Violence and sexual offences, at 2.4 per 1,000, are 16% below the UK average, suggesting localised efforts or demographic factors that contribute to this disparity. Meanwhile, public order crimes, though lower in overall proportion than violence, exceed UK averages by 36%, a contrast that may reflect Rhondda's unique social dynamics. The low rates of property crimes (15 total) and burglary (3 cases) further distinguish Rhondda from national trends, indicating a community where personal safety concerns appear more prominent than asset-related offences.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with vehicle crime surging by 100% (from 0 to 1 case) and burglary increasing by 50% (from 2 to 3 cases). This rise in vehicle crime, though minimal in absolute terms, may partly explain the 22.2% increase in violence and sexual offences, which rose from 45 to 55 cases. Conversely, other theft dropped by 55.6% (from 9 to 4 cases), a decline that could reflect seasonal changes or targeted interventions. Anti-social behaviour remains significantly below the UK average (51% lower), while public order offences exceed it by 36%, a divergence that may signal localised pressures in community spaces. The data also shows possession of weapons fell by 50% (from 2 to 1 case), a reduction that could align with broader public safety initiatives. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Rhondda, where some categories move sharply against the national backdrop while others remain stable.

Rhondda's crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 in June 2025 represents a 2.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.0 per 1,000, indicating a slight but measurable decline in overall activity. On a daily basis, the area experiences approximately 4 crimes per day, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of 1 reported crime for every 206 residents. This rate is lower than the UK average, with the population of 22,633 contributing to a crime profile that appears less affected by national trends. The disparity is particularly evident in categories like anti-social behaviour, which are 51% below the UK average, and burglary, which is 64% below. However, public order offences remain 36% above the national benchmark, a contrast that may reflect Rhondda's specific social or environmental context. For residents, these figures suggest a community where personal safety is generally better protected than the national average, though localized challenges in public order persist.
