Bayston Hill Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bayston Hill’s crime rate in October 2025 stood at 2.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure 62.3% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s exceptionally low level of criminal activity compared to national trends. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences, accounting for 46.7% of the total 15 reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 26.7%. These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal conflicts and public order issues, though both categories remain significantly below UK averages. Violence and sexual offences in Bayston Hill were 51% below the UK rate, while anti-social behaviour was 37% below. The area’s crime profile aligns with its character as a small built-up area within Shropshire, where low population density and community cohesion may contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. Seasonal factors, such as the transition to darker evenings in October and Halloween, may have influenced crime patterns. The overall crime rate remains consistent with Bayston Hill’s historical trend of minimal criminal activity, reinforcing its status as a relatively safe locality within the region.

October 2025 saw sharp increases in several crime categories, with anti-social behaviour rising by 300% from one incident to four. This surge, though still below the UK average, may reflect seasonal factors such as Halloween-related disturbances or increased social gatherings in the area. Burglary and other theft also doubled from zero to one each, marking a notable uptick. These increases, however, remain isolated incidents and do not detract from the overall low crime environment. The breakdown of crimes reveals a striking imbalance in the UK comparison: violence and sexual offences in Bayston Hill were 51% below the national average, while other crime categories—such as anti-social behaviour and criminal damage—also showed marked underperformance relative to UK rates. This suggests that Bayston Hill’s community dynamics, possibly including strong local policing or social cohesion, may act as a buffer against more severe crime types. For residents, the most immediate insight is that violent crime remains exceptionally rare, with only seven incidents reported across the entire month—a rate far lower than the UK’s 2.7 per 1,000.

Bayston Hill’s crime rate in October 2025 rose by 88.2% compared to the previous month’s rate of 1.5 per 1,000, though it remains deeply below the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 347 residents, a figure that underscores the area’s minimal exposure to crime relative to its population. Daily crime statistics for Bayston Hill showed no incidents on average, with 15 crimes spread across 31 days. This low daily frequency reinforces the area’s safety profile, even as the month-on-month increase indicates some fluctuation. When scaled to the local population, the 15 total crimes represent a negligible risk for residents, with each individual facing a 1-in-347 chance of being directly involved in a crime. This perspective, combined with the area’s consistently low crime rates compared to the UK, highlights Bayston Hill’s position as a remarkably secure community. The rise in anti-social behaviour and property crimes, while notable, does not alter the fundamental conclusion that the area remains far safer than national benchmarks suggest.
