Clydach (Swansea) Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In March 2025, Clydach (Swansea) recorded a crime rate of 8.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 10.3% above the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of approximately 2 crimes in the built-up area, a figure that may feel more pronounced in a community of 7,211 residents. The most significant contributors to the crime rate were violence and sexual offences (58.1% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (19.4%) and public order offences (6.5%). These figures are consistent with the area's urban character and the seasonal shift into spring, which likely contributes to increased social activity in public spaces. The high rate of violent crime, 83% above the UK average, may be linked to the area's proximity to Swansea's larger urban environment and the potential influence of seasonal transitions on social interactions. Meanwhile, property crimes accounted for only 9.7% of all incidents, with burglary and criminal damage and arson both below the national average. This contrast suggests that while property-related crime remains a concern, the primary challenge lies in addressing violent and disorderly incidents. The seasonal context of March—marked by the transition to longer evenings and the clocks moving forward—may have influenced patterns of activity, increasing opportunities for anti-social behaviour and public order offences. These trends highlight the need for targeted interventions that address the specific dynamics of Clydach's built-up area.

March saw a stark increase in anti-social behaviour, which tripled from 3 to 12 incidents. This surge, combined with a 300% rise in public order offences, suggests a shift in local patterns that may relate to the transition into spring and extended evening hours. Violent crime remains the dominant category, accounting for 58.1% of all incidents, a rate that is 83% above the UK average for this category. Other theft incidents also doubled, though this category is 20% below the national average. The contrast between rising anti-social behaviour and falling criminal damage and arson (down 50%) highlights a complex mix of factors influencing crime trends. For residents, the 300% increase in anti-social behaviour is a concrete data point that may inform local safety concerns.

Clydach's crime rate in March 2025 rose to 8.6 per 1,000 residents, a 63.2% increase from 5.3 per 1,000 in February. This shift raises the monthly exposure to 1-in-116 residents, meaning any resident could expect to encounter a reported crime over the course of the month. On a daily basis, 2 crimes were recorded across the built-up area, a figure that reflects both the local population density and the specific challenges of urban environments. While the overall rate is 10.3% above the UK average, the disparity is most pronounced in violent crimes, which are 83% higher than the national benchmark. This suggests that local factors—such as community dynamics or seasonal transitions—may play a role in shaping these figures. The population-scaled perspective underscores that, despite the absolute numbers appearing modest, the rate translates to a tangible risk for residents in a relatively small geographic area.
