Clydach Swansea Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In March 2023, Clydach (Swansea) maintained a crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 42.1% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective illustrates that residents face a significantly lower risk of encountering crime than the national average, though local variations in offence types reveal nuanced patterns. Anti-social behaviour emerged as the most prevalent category, accounting for 31.3% of all reported crimes, followed closely by violence and sexual offences (25.0%) and public order incidents (25.0%). These figures contrast with the UK averages for these categories, where anti-social behaviour and public order offences were higher in Clydach. The seasonal context of March—a transitional period into spring—likely influenced these patterns, as extended evenings may contribute to increased social interactions in public spaces, potentially driving anti-social and public order incidents. Meanwhile, violent crime rates remained lower than the UK average, a trend consistent with the area’s character as a built-up urban district within Swansea, where community cohesion and policing efforts may mitigate such incidents. Property crimes, including vehicle crime and theft, were also well below UK averages, suggesting that factors such as local infrastructure or resident awareness may play a role in deterring these offences. This combination of lower overall rates and specific category disparities illustrates a community with a generally safe environment, albeit with targeted areas requiring attention for anti-social and public order issues.

March 2023 revealed a distinct pattern in Clydach’s crime mix, with anti-social behaviour accounting for 31.3% of all reported incidents. This category, at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, exceeded the UK average by 35%, suggesting a localised concentration of disruptive activity. In contrast, violent crimes—8 incidents total—occurred at a rate of 1.1 per 1,000, 60% below the UK average, reflecting a safer environment for residents compared to national trends. The data also highlights a stark divergence in property crime rates, with vehicle crime and other thefts occurring at levels 79% and 83% below UK averages respectively. This may indicate effective local measures or environmental factors deterring such offences. A concrete insight for residents: the rate of public order offences (1.1 per 1,000) was 72% above the UK average, pointing to a need for targeted interventions in areas where these incidents are most prevalent.

In March 2023, Clydach recorded 32 crimes across its population of 7,211 residents, translating to one reported crime for every 225 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in the area compared to national averages. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day, a statistic that aligns with the broader trend of lower overall crime rates in Clydach. When contextualised against the UK average of 7.6 crimes per 1,000 residents, Clydach’s rate of 4.4 per 1,000 highlights a significant disparity. This suggests that residents in Clydach face a markedly lower risk of experiencing crime than those in other parts of the UK, though specific categories like anti-social behaviour and public order offences remain notable exceptions. The combination of a small population and a low total crime count reinforces the idea that Clydach’s crime profile is characterised by infrequent incidents, even if certain types of crime occur at rates diverging from national norms.
