Clydach Swansea Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Clydach in August 2025 reveals a distinct balance of violent and non-violent offences, shaped by both local characteristics and seasonal influences. With 5.4 crimes per 1,000 residents, the area recorded a crime rate 33.3% below the UK average of 8.1, a figure that positions Clydach as a relatively low-risk environment. However, the distribution of crime types tells a more nuanced story: violence and sexual offences accounted for 56.4% of all reported crimes, significantly higher than the UK average for this category. This dominance of violent crime contrasts with the area’s performance in other areas, where public order offences (18.0% of total) are 72% above the UK average, suggesting potential pressures from community dynamics or local events. The seasonal context of August—a peak holiday month—may contribute to this pattern, as increased tourism and temporary population shifts can influence both violent and public order incidents. Property-related crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime are well below UK rates, with burglary at 0.1 per 1,000 and vehicle crime at 0.1 per 1,000, reflecting a broader divergence in crime trends. This mix of higher violent crime and lower property crime challenges assumptions about safety in Clydach, pointing to a combination of factors that require closer examination. The data also highlights the impact of seasonal rhythms: while August typically sees increased foot traffic and temporary residents, the area’s crime mix suggests that these factors may not uniformly drive all types of crime. Instead, the prominence of violent offences may indicate deeper issues related to local demographics or social networks, while the lower rates of property crime could reflect effective community policing or the absence of high-value assets in the built-up area. These findings underscore the importance of contextualising crime statistics within both local and national frameworks, ensuring that policy responses align with the specific needs of Clydach’s population.

August 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with other theft, drugs, and burglary each increasing by 100% compared to July. These rises, though small in absolute terms, highlight emerging patterns that may reflect changes in local activity or enforcement focus. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 80%, and criminal damage and arson fell by 60%, suggesting a temporary reduction in disruptive incidents. The crime mix reveals a stark contrast to national trends: while violence and sexual offences in Clydach are 8% above the UK average, public order offences are 72% higher, potentially linked to local events or community dynamics. Other categories, including burglary and vehicle crime, are below UK rates, indicating a broader divergence in crime profiles that challenges generalisations about the area’s safety.

Clydach's crime rate in August 2025 fell by 23.5% compared to July, reflecting a shift in local patterns. The previous month’s rate of 7.1 per 1,000 residents dropped to 5.4, a decline consistent with seasonal factors such as reduced tourism activity and fewer holiday-related disruptions. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents for residents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 185 residents, a statistic that underscores the relatively low risk profile of Clydach compared to other areas. This monthly aggregate suggests that the community experiences crime at a pace significantly slower than the UK average, though the distribution of crime types reveals localised pressures that warrant further analysis.
