Clydach (Swansea) Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Clydach (Swansea) maintained a crime rate of 7.2 per 1,000 residents in June 2025, placing it 11.1% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This performance highlights the area’s relatively safer profile compared to national trends, though the composition of crimes reveals a complex picture. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 55.8% of all reported incidents—a stark contrast to the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000 for this category. The high prevalence of violent crime may be influenced by the built-up nature of Clydach, where population density and social interactions could contribute to such patterns. Criminal damage and arson followed closely at 11.5%, while anti-social behaviour and public order offences showed lower rates than the UK average. Seasonal factors in June, such as the start of summer and extended daylight hours, likely play a role in shaping crime dynamics. The area’s lower rates for shoplifting and other theft categories—52% and 41% below the UK average respectively—suggest effective local deterrents or community engagement in these areas. However, the sharp rise in bicycle theft and other theft incidents points to vulnerabilities that may require targeted measures. Overall, Clydach’s crime profile reflects a mix of national trends and local characteristics, with opportunities for further analysis to address persistent issues in violent crime.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in specific crime types, with bicycle theft, shoplifting, and other theft all doubling from zero to two incidents. These increases may reflect seasonal factors, such as the start of summer encouraging outdoor activities or increased foot traffic in local areas. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and public order offences decreased by 54.5% and 37.5% respectively, potentially linked to community initiatives or increased policing during the warmer months. The area’s violence and sexual offences rate—4.0 per 1,000—was 40% above the UK average, a stark contrast to categories like shoplifting, which were 52% below the national average. This divergence highlights the need for targeted interventions in violent crime while acknowledging areas where local performance exceeds national benchmarks. Residents may find the 100% increase in bicycle theft particularly concerning, as it suggests vulnerabilities in securing personal property during peak summer months.

Clydach’s crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 7.2 per 1,000 residents, matching the rate recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no significant shift in overall criminal activity, though localized fluctuations in specific crime types were observed. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day, a figure that aligns with the area’s small population and relatively low crime density. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 139 residents, a monthly exposure rate that reflects the area’s compact built-up nature and limited population base. When compared to the UK average, Clydach’s overall rate is 11.1% lower, a gap that underscores the area’s distinct crime profile. However, this comparison masks variations in specific categories, such as violence and sexual offences, which are higher than the UK average. For residents, the stability in the overall rate offers reassurance, though the breakdown of individual crime types reveals opportunities for targeted community engagement.
