Bayston Hill Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Bayston Hill, just 2.7 crimes were reported in January 2025 — a rate 62% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This means that an individual resident has a 0.27% chance of being directly involved in a crime during the month, a figure that translates to roughly one crime for every 372 residents over the course of a month. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 57% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 28.6%. These figures contrast sharply with UK averages, where violence and sexual offences are 40% higher and anti-social behaviour is 18% higher. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these patterns, as January typically sees reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours, which may contribute to lower outdoor crime rates. The area’s low overall crime rate suggests a strong community presence or effective local policing, though the relative prominence of violent crime compared to property crime may reflect local demographics or social dynamics. While the UK average includes higher levels of property crime, Bayston Hill’s data shows only one property-related incident, indicating a stark divergence in crime profiles between this built-up area and larger urban centres.

January 2025 saw a 300% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 1 to 4 incidents, and a 100% increase in public order offences, which moved from 0 to 1. This sharp rise in anti-social behaviour — a category that includes noise disturbances, vandalism, and harassment — may be linked to post-holiday social patterns or local events. Conversely, violence and sexual offences decreased by 11.1% compared to the previous month, though they remained significantly below the UK average, where this category is 40% higher. The crime mix also shifted slightly, with violent crime making up 57.1% of all incidents, compared to property crime’s 7.1%. This imbalance contrasts with the UK average, where property crime is more prevalent. For residents, the most immediately relevant finding is the 300% jump in anti-social behaviour: while the absolute number remains low, this category’s volatility highlights the need for community vigilance. The data also shows that Bayston Hill’s violent crime rate is 40% below the UK average, a gap that may reflect the area’s smaller population size, lower population density, or effective local interventions.

The crime rate in January 2025 (2.7 per 1,000 residents) marked an 8.0% increase from the previous month’s rate of 2.5 per 1,000. This rise, though modest, underscores the fluctuation in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, Bayston Hill recorded approximately 0 crimes per day in January, a figure that aligns with the area’s overall low crime profile. Over the course of the month, the average resident had a 1-in-372 chance of being directly involved in a reported crime — a statistic that contextualises the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Bayston Hill’s crime rate remains strikingly low, with the area’s overall rate 62% below the national figure. This gap is particularly pronounced in categories like anti-social behaviour, which is 18% below the UK average, and public order offences, which are 57% below. The population-scaled perspective reinforces the safety of the area: with only 5,212 residents, the 14 reported crimes in January represent a minimal burden on the community. While the increase in anti-social behaviour raises questions about local factors, the broader context suggests that Bayston Hill continues to be significantly safer than the UK average, with crime levels that are both rare and manageable.
