Bayston Hill Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Bayston Hill’s November 2024 crime rate of 2.1 per 1,000 residents — 72.4% below the UK average — reflects a consistently safe environment, though seasonal factors and local dynamics remain relevant. The area’s crime profile is dominated by violent crimes, which accounted for 54.6% of all incidents (6 cases), followed by other crime, vehicle crime, public order offences, anti-social behaviour, and theft from the person. This distribution suggests a focus on interpersonal conflicts and occasional property-related issues, with no major spikes in theft or burglary. The low overall rate is consistent with Bayston Hill’s character as a small, built-up area within Shropshire, likely influenced by its rural setting and lower population density. Seasonal context in November — including dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping — may have contributed to minor fluctuations in crime patterns, but the overall trend remains stable. Violent crimes, while the most frequent category, are still 53% below the UK average for this type, indicating effective community policing or environmental factors that deter serious incidents. The absence of significant property crime spikes, despite seasonal shopping activity, may reflect strong local enforcement or community engagement initiatives. Residents can take comfort in the area’s low crime rate, though vigilance in public spaces during evening hours remains advisable given the reduced visibility and increased foot traffic associated with November events.

November 2024 saw an 85.7% drop in anti-social behaviour, reducing incidents from 7 to 1 — the most significant decline across all categories. Public order offences also fell by 50.0%, dropping from 2 to 1, suggesting a marked improvement in community conduct during the month. Violence and sexual offences remained 53% below the UK average, with 6 incidents contributing to 54.6% of all crimes. Three categories — other crime, vehicle crime, and theft from the person — each saw a 100% increase from zero to one incident, indicating new or emerging risks. This shift in crime mix highlights the importance of vigilance in areas where these specific offences may occur, even as overall crime remains low. The 72.4% gap between Bayston Hill’s rate and the UK average underscores the area’s continued safety relative to national trends.

Bayston Hill's November 2024 crime rate of 2.1 per 1,000 residents marks a 38.8% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.5 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend of reduced anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which fell by 85.7% and 50.0% respectively. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0.37 crimes per day, reflecting a consistently low level of criminal activity. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 474 residents, underscoring the area’s comparatively safe environment. When scaled to the local population of 5,212, this translates to a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average. For residents, this means a lower likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives, though vigilance remains necessary for the small number of incidents that do occur. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with the limited number of crimes, the impact is spread thinly across the community, suggesting a low risk environment for most residents.
