Codsall Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Codsall’s crime profile in July 2025, accounting for 45.5% of all reported crimes. With a total of 66 incidents recorded, the area maintained a crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 residents—39.5% below the UK average of 8.6. This stark contrast to national figures underscores Codsall’s relatively safe environment, though the dominance of violent crime suggests specific challenges requiring targeted intervention. The data reveals a clear hierarchy of crime types, with anti-social behaviour (24.2%) and other theft (7.6%) following closely behind. Seasonal factors likely influenced these patterns, as July’s peak summer conditions, including school holidays and festivals, may have contributed to increased social interactions and associated tensions. The high proportion of violent crime, particularly in the absence of a significant tourist presence or nightlife district, raises questions about local dynamics. While the overall rate remains low, the concentration of violent incidents could reflect underlying socioeconomic pressures or gaps in community support systems. Other theft and anti-social behaviour rates were both below the UK average, indicating that Codsall’s crime profile is shaped by a unique combination of local factors, including its built-up character and proximity to South Staffordshire’s broader urban networks. These insights highlight the need for continued monitoring of violent crime trends while leveraging the area’s strengths in maintaining lower rates of property-related offences.

July 2025 saw notable shifts in Codsall’s crime profile, with other theft cases surging by 150% compared to the previous month, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This increase, while still below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, suggests heightened activity in areas where unattended property is common. Conversely, burglary rates dropped by 60%, falling from 5 to 2 cases, a decline that may reflect improved home security measures or seasonal factors such as fewer holidays. Possession of weapons also rose sharply, doubling from 0 to 2 cases—a figure 150% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This anomaly warrants attention. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 24.2% of all crimes, remained 16% below the UK average, indicating a relatively stable local environment for public order despite the overall rate increase. These fluctuations highlight the combination of local conditions and broader trends in crime reporting.

Codsall’s crime rate in July 2025 rose by 22.5% compared to the previous month, increasing from 4.2 to 5.2 per 1,000 residents. This upward trend, though still significantly below the UK average of 8.6, highlights a shift in local crime dynamics. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 2 crimes per day over the 31-day period, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for consistent community vigilance. Monthly exposure reveals that over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for every 193 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents against the population. With 12,752 residents, this rate suggests that while crime is relatively rare, its impact is felt proportionally across the community. The population-scaled perspective also shows that Codsall’s crime profile remains markedly safer than the national average, with violent crime and anti-social behaviour dominating the local landscape despite the month-on-month increase. This balance between local trends and national benchmarks illustrates the area’s unique position within the broader UK crime picture.
