Gorseinon Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Gorseinon’s crime profile was defined by a stark imbalance between violent and property crimes, with the former accounting for 50% of all reported incidents—more than double the 24% share for property crimes. This dominance of violent crime, despite a 33.3% reduction in the overall rate compared to the UK average (5.4 vs 8.1 per 1,000 residents), suggests a unique local dynamic. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which occurred at a rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents, 6% below the UK average. This may reflect localized factors such as community tensions, policing focus, or the area’s character as a built-up part of Swansea, where social interactions and public spaces could influence crime patterns. Anti-social behaviour followed at 14.1% of total crimes, though this category was 44% below the UK average, indicating effective community initiatives or demographic characteristics. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may have influenced crime trends, with increased social activity in public spaces contributing to both violent incidents and the notable decrease in public order crimes (down 45.5% from May). While property crimes remained relatively low, the sharp rise in other theft (200% increase) and possession of weapons (100% increase) highlights areas requiring closer attention. These trends, when viewed alongside Gorseinon’s position within Swansea, suggest a combination of local conditions and broader regional patterns that warrant continued monitoring.

June 2025 marked a sharp rise in specific crime categories, including a 200% increase in other theft, a 100% rise in possession of weapons, and a 100% increase in robbery. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, signal potential shifts in criminal behavior or local dynamics. Conversely, public order crimes fell by 45.5%, a notable decrease that may reflect seasonal factors or targeted interventions. The crime mix in Gorseinon remains heavily weighted toward violence, with violent crimes accounting for 50% of all reported incidents—more than double the 24% share for property crimes. This imbalance contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences make up 35% of total crimes, suggesting that Gorseinon’s unique social or environmental context may contribute to this pattern. For residents, the 6% below-average rate for violence and sexual offences offers a specific data point that could inform community safety strategies.

June 2025 saw a 20% increase in Gorseinon’s crime rate compared to May, rising from 4.5 to 5.4 per 1,000 residents. This upward trend, though still well below the UK average, reflects localized shifts in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 3 crimes per day over the month, a figure that, while low, underscores the ongoing need for community vigilance. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate of one crime per 186 residents highlights the relative safety of the area, though the 20% increase from the previous month suggests a dynamic environment. The population of 14,479 means that each resident faces a calculated risk, but the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, indicating a combination of local factors—such as community engagement, policing strategies, or seasonal influences—that likely contribute to this trend.
