Bayston Hill Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bayston Hill's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a stark contrast to UK-wide trends, with an overall rate of 1.5 crimes per 1,000 residents—81.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This low rate is most pronounced in violent crimes, where local rates are 79% below the UK average (0.6 per 1,000 vs 2.9 per 1,000). The crime mix is dominated by property-related offences, with 'other theft' accounting for 50% of total incidents (4 cases), significantly exceeding the UK average for this category (0.5 per 1,000). This imbalance suggests a localised focus on property crime, possibly influenced by the area's character as a small built-up area within Shropshire. The absence of major violent incidents aligns with the region's generally low levels of urban density and the potential for reduced opportunities for such crimes. Seasonal factors may also play a role: June marks the start of summer, with longer daylight hours reducing opportunities for certain crimes, though the surge in other thefts may be linked to increased foot traffic associated with early tourism in the area. The breakdown of offences—50% property crime, 37.5% violent, and 12.5% anti-social behaviour—illustrates a crime profile skewed heavily towards property-related incidents, which may reflect the area's limited commercial activity and residential focus.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 100% increase in 'other theft' incidents, rising from 0 to 4 crimes—a sharp contrast to the previous month's zero recorded cases. This surge, though small in absolute terms, suggests shifting patterns in property-related offences. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences dropped by 50%, from 6 to 3, aligning with the area's 79% below UK average for this category. The breakdown of crime types reveals a unique profile: other thefts (50% of total) far outpace the UK average for this category (0.5 per 1,000), while violent crimes remain well below national rates. Residents may find the 100% increase in other thefts particularly notable, as it represents the most significant change in the crime mix this month. This shift may partly explain the area's overall low crime rate, with property crimes forming the bulk of reported incidents.

Bayston Hill's crime rate in June 2025 (1.5 per 1,000 residents) reflects an 11.6% decrease from May's 1.7 per 1,000, indicating a slight downward trend. Over 30 days, this equates to approximately 0 crimes per day, a figure that underscores the area's low crime environment relative to its population of 5,212. Monthly exposure calculations reveal that, over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 652 residents—a rate significantly lower than the UK average. This statistic, while localised, highlights the area's comparative safety when viewed through a population-scaled lens. The daily crime count, though minimal, serves as a useful benchmark for residents seeking to understand the frequency of incidents in their community. When contextualised against the broader UK landscape, Bayston Hill's crime profile demonstrates a marked divergence from national trends, particularly in categories such as violence and sexual offences, where local rates are 79% below the UK average.
