Clydach Swansea Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Clydach's crime profile in September 2025 reveals a combination of local dynamics and broader regional trends. The area's overall crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents places it 40.5% below the UK average, a stark contrast to national figures that often reflect higher urban crime rates. Violence and sexual offences, which account for 40.6% of all reported crimes, saw a significant 40.9% month-on-month decline — a shift that may be linked to the start of the academic year and associated changes in community activity. Public order offences, however, rose to 8 cases, marking a 104% increase over the UK average and suggesting heightened tensions in local spaces. The breakdown of crime types highlights a marked disparity: while violent crime remains well below the national average, public order incidents are high. This divergence could reflect Clydach's built-up nature within Swansea, where high-density living and shared spaces may amplify disturbances. Seasonal context further shapes these patterns, as September's back-to-school period and shorter evenings may influence both crime types and reporting rates. The area's overall safety, underscored by its low crime rate, contrasts with the need for targeted interventions in public order issues, which remain a local challenge. Anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime, though lower than the UK average, also show notable fluctuations, pointing to the need for continued monitoring of these categories.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 40.9% decrease in violence and sexual offences, falling from 22 incidents in August to 13. This decline, while significant, contrasts with a 14.3% rise in public order offences, which now stand at 8 — 104% above the UK average. Vehicle crime also spiked by 100%, with two incidents reported compared to one in August, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes in vehicle usage or parking patterns. Anti-social behaviour doubled from 2 to 4 cases, a 100% increase that could indicate heightened tensions during the back-to-school period. Violence and sexual offences in Clydach remain 30% below the UK average, despite the sharp month-on-month drop. This divergence from national trends underscores the area's unique dynamics, where local initiatives or demographic factors may play a role in sustaining lower violent crime rates. The rise in public order offences, however, highlights a growing challenge that local authorities may need to address.

Clydach's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 4.4 per 1,000 residents, marking a 17.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.4 per 1,000. This downward trend aligns with broader seasonal patterns observed in similar urban areas, where the transition from summer to autumn often correlates with reduced outdoor activity and fewer late-night incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 225 residents — a figure that, while low, highlights the persistent need for community vigilance. Daily crime statistics show an average of one crime per day in Clydach, a rate that remains significantly below the UK average. This local context contrasts with national trends, where urban centres often see higher daily crime counts. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a crime risk far lower than the UK average, with the area's built-up nature and proximity to Swansea's infrastructure likely contributing to this disparity. The reduction in violent crime, paired with the rise in vehicle-related incidents, suggests shifting patterns that warrant closer observation.
