Treherbert Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Treherbert's October 2025 crime rate of 6.4 per 1,000 residents places it 16.9% below the UK average of 7.7, reflecting a safer profile compared to the national context. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark dominance of violent and sexual offences, accounting for 54% of the total, with 20 incidents reported — a rate of 3.5 per 1,000 that is 32% above the UK average for this category. This suggests a local challenge in managing violence, potentially linked to the area's character as a built-up area within Rhondda Cynon Taf, where community dynamics and social interactions may influence such trends. Burglary, at 0.9 per 1,000 (13.5% of total crimes), is 200% above the UK average, a striking deviation that may be connected to seasonal factors such as colder weather increasing home occupancy or specific vulnerabilities in local housing stock. Public order offences, though lower than burglary, also rose significantly, aligning with the seasonal context of October — darker evenings and Halloween events likely contributing to increased disturbances. The data also shows a 19% above UK average rate for vehicle crime, linked to local parking patterns or increased traffic during the month. These figures, combined with the area's compact built-up nature, suggest that while Treherbert is safer overall than the UK average, targeted efforts may be needed to address specific crime hotspots, particularly in violence and burglary. The seasonal transition from autumn to winter, with shorter days and holiday-related activities, likely plays a role in shaping these trends, though further analysis would be required to confirm causal links.

October saw a 200% surge in public order offences, rising from one to three incidents — a stark shift that may reflect the impact of Halloween activities and darker evenings. Vehicle crime also doubled, mirroring the 200% increase, suggesting heightened vulnerability in local parking areas during the month. Burglary, previously absent, rose to five incidents, a 100% increase that contrasts sharply with the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This anomaly could signal seasonal patterns, such as increased home occupancy during colder weather or targeted activity in the built-up area. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by two-thirds, and other theft dropped by half — trends that may indicate successful community initiatives or temporary changes in local dynamics. The violence and sexual offences category, at 3.5 per 1,000, remains 32% above the UK average, a persistent challenge for the area.

Treherbert's crime rate in October 2025 rose 12% from the previous month, climbing to 6.4 per 1,000 residents from 5.7. This increase, though modest, shifts the monthly exposure to one reported crime for every 155 residents over the course of the month — a figure that underscores the local impact of even small fluctuations. Daily crime data reveals an average of one incident per day in October, a rate that, while low compared to national benchmarks, remains a concern for residents. The population-scaled perspective highlights how the area's compact size amplifies the visibility of each incident, making crime statistics more immediately tangible for the 5,752 residents. While the overall rate remains 16.9% below the UK average, the rise in specific categories like burglary and public order offences suggests localized pressures that may warrant closer attention. This monthly context helps residents gauge whether their daily experiences align with the statistical trends, offering a concrete lens through which to view safety in the built-up area.
