Loughor Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In Loughor, a built-up area within Swansea, the crime rate for June 2025 stood at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, 34.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure translates to a per-capita risk of one reported crime for every 190 residents over the course of the month, placing the area in a safer position than the national average. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 42.9% of all incidents, followed by public order offences (17.9%) and anti-social behaviour (14.3%). The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and the beginning of increased tourism in nearby coastal areas—may have influenced the crime profile. Violent crimes, while still the largest category, were 20% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of local factors such as community policing efforts and the area's character as a relatively stable urban environment. Property crimes, which accounted for 21.4% of incidents, remained below the UK average for categories like shoplifting and burglary, though public order offences exceeded the UK rate by 53%. These patterns highlight the combination of local demographics, seasonal rhythms, and the built environment in shaping crime trends, even as Loughor maintains a consistently lower overall rate than the national benchmark.

June 2025 saw a sharp 400% increase in public order offences, rising from one to five incidents. This jump, while unexplained by the data, may partly reflect the influx of visitors during the early summer season. Shoplifting and theft from the person each doubled from zero to two incidents, a change that could signal heightened retail activity or targeted criminal behaviour in local businesses. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 75%, from four to one incident, a drop consistent with the generally lower rates of such crimes in built-up areas. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 73.3%, from 15 to four incidents, linked to the end of school holidays or seasonal shifts in community activity. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type, accounting for 42.9% of all incidents, but they were 20% below the UK average. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, even as the area maintains a consistently lower rate than national benchmarks.

Loughor's crime rate in June 2025 fell slightly to 5.3 per 1,000 residents, a 3.5% drop from the previous month's 5.5 per 1,000. This decline, though modest, suggests a continued trend of stability in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of one crime reported each day, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance in public spaces. When scaled to the population of 5,310 residents, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 190 residents. This ratio places Loughor in a safer position compared to the UK average, where the equivalent figure would be closer to one in every 120 residents. The consistency in crime rates over recent months may reflect the area's established community structures and local initiatives, though seasonal factors such as the start of summer could influence future trends. The absence of significant spikes in violent crime or property crime further reinforces the area's relative safety, even as specific categories like public order offences show marked fluctuations.
