Filton Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Filton's June 2024 crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents places it 4.9% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, marking a consistent trend of lower-than-national crime levels. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 35.2% of all reported incidents, followed by vehicle crime (12.5%) and public order offences (11.4%). This pattern may be influenced by Filton's built-up nature within South Gloucestershire, where urban density and local policing strategies could contribute to lower overall rates. However, certain categories—such as vehicle crime—exceeded UK averages by 122%, suggesting localized factors like increased traffic or parking activity during the summer months. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the onset of tourist activity in surrounding areas, may have amplified vehicle-related crimes while reducing burglary rates, as outdoor spaces become more frequented. Public order offences also rose 48% above the UK average, linked to higher foot traffic or events in the area. These data points highlight a combination of national trends and local conditions, requiring a nuanced understanding of Filton's unique environment.

June 2024 saw notable fluctuations in crime categories, with vehicle crime rising by 120% (from 5 to 11 incidents) and bicycle theft doubling (from 1 to 2). These increases may be linked to the start of summer, when more vehicles and cyclists are on the roads. Conversely, burglary decreased by 60% (from 10 to 4), possibly reflecting heightened awareness during warmer months. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, at 31 incidents (35.2% of total crimes), but this rate was 2% below the UK average. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour incidents fell sharply by 50% compared to the UK average, indicating a potential local success in managing public conduct. For residents, the 122% increase in vehicle crime compared to the UK average highlights a specific area for vigilance, particularly in parking areas or near major roads.

Filton's June 2024 crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents marks a 17.0% decrease from the previous month's 9.4 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the start of summer, when seasonal patterns often shift crime dynamics. Locally, the average daily crime count was 3 incidents per day over June, a figure that reflects the area's relatively low overall rate compared to national averages. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for every 129 residents in Filton during June—a statistic that provides context for residents assessing their personal risk. This rate is 4.9% below the UK average, suggesting that Filton's built-up area within South Gloucestershire may benefit from local factors such as community engagement or environmental design that contribute to lower crime levels. However, the monthly exposure figure should not be compared directly to UK-wide data, as local population density and policing strategies can significantly influence such metrics.
