November’s dark evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night may have contributed to a rise in violent incidents. below the national average. The relatively low crime rate—3.0 per 1,000 residents—suggests Loughor is a safer area compared to many parts of the UK, though the 100% surge in burglary highlights a vulnerability in property security during the month. The mix of crime types indicates a combination of local factors, with the area’s built-up character and proximity to Swansea likely influencing patterns. While violence and sexual offences dominate, property crimes such as burglary and other thefts remain notable, reflecting potential challenges in securing homes and retail spaces during the winter season. This balance of crime types illustrates an area where community policing and targeted interventions may help maintain the current low overall rate, despite localized spikes in specific categories.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in burglary compared to October, with three incidents reported—double the previous month’s figure. This rise, coupled with a 100% increase in other theft, suggests a shift in criminal focus toward property crime, possibly linked to Black Friday shopping activity or seasonal vulnerabilities in home security. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 50%, reaching three incidents, though this remains below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000 residents. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 75%, with only one incident reported, likely due to reduced outdoor activity in colder weather. Vehicle crime dropped by 50%, from two to one incident, potentially reflecting fewer vehicles parked in public spaces during November. The area’s violence and sexual offences rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents is 57% below the UK average, indicating a relatively low prevalence of violent crime despite the overall increase in property-related offences. These trends highlight the need for targeted measures to address property crime while maintaining the area’s strong performance in reducing violent incidents.

Loughor’s crime rate in November 2025 dropped to 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a 23.8% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.0. This decline places the area’s overall safety in a more favourable light compared to October, though the 100% rise in burglary complicates the picture. On a daily basis, Loughor recorded approximately one crime per day over the month—a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance in addressing specific categories like burglary. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 332 residents, a rate significantly lower than the UK average. With a population of 5,310, this translates to a relatively low monthly exposure to crime, suggesting that residents face a much smaller risk compared to the national average. The comparison with the previous month highlights a downward trend in overall crime, yet the surge in property-related offences indicates that localized factors—such as increased foot traffic during Black Friday or the timing of Bonfire Night—may have influenced the rise in burglary. These figures, when contextualized with Loughor’s population size, illustrate a community that is generally safer than the UK average but requires targeted efforts to address emerging vulnerabilities in property security.
