Tonypandy Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Tonypandy’s crime profile in November 2024, contributing 42.5% of all reported incidents. With an overall crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 18.4% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, reflecting a relatively safer environment compared to national trends. This lower rate may be influenced by the area’s built-up character, which could foster community cohesion and policing presence. The dominance of violence-related crimes, particularly in the context of November’s darker evenings and seasonal events like Bonfire Night, may contribute to heightened interpersonal conflicts. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also feature prominently, with the latter exceeding the UK average by 57%, suggesting a potential link to the month’s social dynamics. While property crimes such as burglary and other theft decreased, the sharp rise in vehicle crime—up 250% from October—could be tied to increased car-related activity during the festive shopping period. The area’s crime profile thus illustrates a combination of local conditions and broader seasonal influences, with violence and public order issues emerging as key focal points for continued scrutiny.

Violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category in Tonypandy, accounting for 42.5% of all crimes in November. This category also sits at the UK average for its rate (2.6 per 1,000), indicating no significant deviation from national trends. A striking month-on-month increase of 250% was recorded in vehicle crime, rising from two to seven incidents, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes such as increased car usage during darker evenings. Conversely, burglary and other theft both saw decreases of 33.3% and 60.0%, respectively, suggesting a possible reduction in opportunistic property crimes. Public order offences, however, surged 57% above the UK average, potentially linked to the timing of Bonfire Night and Black Friday, which may have contributed to heightened public interactions. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of local crime patterns and the need for ongoing monitoring.

Tonypandy’s crime rate in November 2024 rose 6.0% from the previous month’s 5.8 per 1,000 to 6.2 per 1,000, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately four reported crimes per day, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population. Over the course of November, one crime was reported for roughly every 162 residents, illustrating the monthly exposure rate in a community of 17,133 people. This statistic, while modest, highlights the ongoing presence of crime within the built-up area. The population context further emphasizes that even a low crime rate translates to tangible incidents for local residents, particularly in densely populated zones. The shift in crime patterns compared to October suggests seasonal or situational factors may be influencing activity levels from the data alone.
