Clydach Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2025, Clydach (Swansea) recorded 52 crimes, equating to a crime rate of 7.2 per 1,000 residents—6.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. For a population of 7,211, this translates to roughly 7 crimes for every 1,000 people, a figure that places Clydach among the safer built-up areas within Swansea. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (28.9% of total), anti-social behaviour (28.9%), and public order issues (11.5%). These figures are consistent with the area's seasonal context: April's Easter period and spring weather likely drove increased outdoor activity, which may have contributed to the prominence of public order offences. The rate of violence and sexual offences (2.1 per 1,000) was 20% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or natural deterrents in the area. However, anti-social behaviour and public order offences were higher than national averages, with anti-social behaviour alone 58% above the UK rate. This disparity may reflect local challenges such as concentrated population density or specific community dynamics that require targeted attention. The relatively low burglary rate (0.1 per 1,000) and vehicle crime rate (0.3 per 1,000) further underscore Clydach's position as a low-risk area for property-related crimes, though the recent surge in 'other crime' (up 300% from the previous month) signals an emerging concern that warrants further analysis.

April 2025 saw a stark reduction in violence and sexual offences, which fell by 58.3% compared to the previous month, from 36 to 15 incidents. This decline may reflect the Easter holiday period, which typically sees reduced public activity in the area. Conversely, other crime rose sharply by 300%, jumping from 1 to 4 incidents, a category that includes non-specific offences not easily classified elsewhere. Vehicle crime also doubled, increasing from 0 to 2, possibly linked to increased car usage during spring weekends. Anti-social behaviour remained a persistent concern, with 15 incidents (28.9% of total crimes) and a rate 58% above the UK average. This highlights a need for ongoing community engagement in managing disruptive behaviours, particularly in public spaces.

Clydach's crime rate in April 2025 (7.2 per 1,000) marked a 16.2% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.6 per 1,000. This decline suggests a notable shift in local crime dynamics, possibly influenced by seasonal factors or targeted interventions. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the month—a figure that, while not negligible, remains within a manageable range for a community of 7,211 residents. When scaled to population size, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 139 residents. This rate is lower than the UK average and aligns with Clydach's historical position as a relatively low-crime built-up area within Swansea. The consistency in this trend, despite fluctuations in specific crime categories, reinforces the area's overall safety profile compared to broader national benchmarks.
