Clydach (Swansea) Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2024, Clydach (Swansea) recorded 38 crimes across its population of 7,211 residents, translating to a crime rate of 5.3 per 1,000 people. This rate is 31.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a notable achievement for a built-up area within Swansea. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (19 incidents, 50% of total), followed by criminal damage and arson (8 incidents, 21.1%) and public order offences (6 incidents, 15.8%). These figures align with seasonal patterns typical of spring, when increased outdoor activity and Easter-related events may contribute to higher visibility of certain crimes. The rate of violence and sexual offences, while slightly above the UK average by 2%, contrasts sharply with anti-social behaviour, which was 75% below the UK average. The area’s compact built-up nature likely amplifies the impact of crimes such as public order offences, which can disrupt local communities. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson, though rising sharply in April, remain below the UK average for this category. This data reflects a combination of local demographics, seasonal rhythms, and the built environment, with the area’s proximity to Swansea’s urban core potentially influencing crime trends. The relatively low overall rate, despite the spike in specific categories, suggests a broader success in crime prevention, though targeted measures may be needed to address the rise in criminal damage and arson during the Easter period.

April 2024 saw a dramatic 166.7% rise in criminal damage and arson, with incidents jumping from 3 to 8. This surge aligns with the Easter period, when increased outdoor activity and seasonal transitions may contribute to such crimes. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply by 71.4%, from 7 to 2, possibly reflecting heightened community engagement during Easter. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 50% of all crimes.6 per 1,000 was just 2% above the UK average. Other categories showed stark contrasts: anti-social behaviour was 75% below the UK average, while public order offences were 51% above. For residents, the 166.7% increase in criminal damage and arson is a critical data point, suggesting targeted vigilance in public spaces during the Easter period.

Clydach (Swansea) recorded 38 crimes in April 2024, translating to roughly 1 crime per day across the built-up area. Over the course of the month, this equated to one reported crime for every 190 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in human terms. While the crime rate rose 11.7% from 4.7 per 1,000 in March to 5.3 per 1,000 in April, this remains 31.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. The population-scaled perspective reveals that for every 1,000 residents, Clydach experiences fewer crimes than the UK average, though the 1-in-190 resident figure highlights the local impact of each incident. This monthly exposure is particularly notable given the area’s compact built-up nature, where a single crime can affect multiple households within a short radius. The rate’s increase from March, though modest, suggests a need to monitor seasonal patterns as Easter and spring activities may influence local crime dynamics.
