Churchdown Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In September 2025, Churchdown, a built-up area within Tewkesbury, recorded a crime rate of 5.1 per 1,000 residents, 31.1% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This rate translates to roughly one reported crime for every 198 residents over the course of the month, a figure that places the area among the safer parts of the country. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.2% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (16.2%) and public order offences (13.5%). These figures reflect a combination of the area’s character and seasonal dynamics: as September brings back-to-school routines and the start of university terms, the crime profile shifts toward incidents associated with youth populations and social gatherings. The relatively low property crime rate (15 cases, 20.3% of total crimes) contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically make up a larger share of the overall rate. This discrepancy may be attributed to Churchdown’s built-up nature, which likely features a mix of residential and commercial spaces that do not incentivize large-scale property crime in the same way as more sprawling or industrial areas. However, the spike in public order offences—up 100% from 5 to 10 cases—suggests that the area’s social fabric is sensitive to changes in population density and activity patterns during the transition from summer to autumn. The overall crime rate remains consistent with Churchdown’s historical profile as a relatively low-risk area, though the seasonal context of September introduces variables that could influence future trends. The combination of a stable population base, lower property crime rates, and the presence of educational institutions may contribute to the area’s ability to maintain a crime rate significantly below the national average.

September 2025 saw a notable shift in crime patterns within Churchdown, with public order offences doubling from 5 to 10 cases—a 100% increase. This rise, consistent with the seasonal transition into shorter evenings, may partly explain the uptick in disputes and disturbances during the early autumn. Conversely, anti-social behaviour incidents dropped sharply by 55.6%, from 27 to 12, potentially reflecting the return of students to university campuses and a corresponding reduction in late-night activity in certain areas. Violence and sexual offences, though remaining the most common category (43.2% of total crimes), fell by 5.9% to 32 cases, a trend that contrasts with the UK average for this category, which is 15% below Churchdown’s rate. Other crime, including unclassified incidents, surged by 200% from one to three cases, highlighting the need for further investigation into the nature of these reports. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic interplay between seasonal factors and local demographics in shaping crime trends.

Churchdown's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, a decrease of 8.7% from the previous month's 5.5 per 1,000. This decline, while modest, aligns with the broader trend of reduced anti-social behaviour incidents, which fell by 55.6% to 12 cases. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly two crimes per day, a figure that places it well below the UK average when scaled to local population size. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 198 residents, illustrating a relatively low level of exposure compared to the national context. This monthly aggregate suggests that residents face a significantly lower risk of encountering crime than the average UK citizen, though localized spikes in specific categories—such as public order offences—warrant attention. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Churchdown's crime profile remains distinct from the UK average, with its built-up character likely influencing the balance between property and violent crime types.
