Tewkesbury Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

For a town of over 100,000 residents, the total of two crimes reported in February 2026 translates to a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000, a figure that is 100% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast to the national average highlights Tewkesbury’s exceptionally low crime profile, which is further reinforced by the breakdown of incidents into one property crime and one violent crime. Both categories are 100% below their respective UK averages, with other theft at 0.0 per 1,000 compared to the UK’s 0.4 per 1,000 and violence and sexual offences at 0.0 per 1,000 compared to the UK’s 2.3 per 1,000. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with low outdoor activity and the pre-spring lull—likely plays a role in this trend, as reduced public engagement and colder weather may limit opportunities for crime. Tewkesbury’s character as a largely rural area, with a mix of historic town centres and surrounding countryside, may also contribute to its low crime rates. Unlike urban centres where high foot traffic and nightlife drive certain offences, Tewkesbury’s quieter rhythm and smaller population size create an environment where crime is rare. The absence of significant spikes in any category further suggests that the area’s crime profile is not only low but also consistent, with no single factor dominating the monthly tally. This consistency, combined with the seasonal and geographic factors, illustrates a community where crime is not just infrequent but practically negligible for most residents.

February 2026 saw a dramatic reduction in reported crimes, with both violence and sexual offences and other theft plummeting by 99.5% and 95.5% respectively compared to the previous month. This decline places Tewkesbury’s crime rates for these categories 100% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the national figures for other theft (0.4 per 1,000) and violence and sexual offences (2.3 per 1,000). The month-on-month changes highlight a significant shift in the crime mix, with property crimes and violent crimes each accounting for 50% of the total reported incidents. This balance suggests a rare equilibrium between different types of crime. For residents, the most immediate insight is the absence of repeat incidents in categories typically more common in other areas, such as theft or violence. The data also shows that Tewkesbury’s crime profile is not only statistically unique but also practically unremarkable for most residents, with no single category dominating the monthly tally.

Tewkesbury’s February 2026 crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents marks a stark decline from the previous month’s rate of 4.9 per 1,000, reflecting a 99.6% reduction. This shift aligns with the seasonal context of a winter month, where low outdoor activity and the pre-spring lull likely contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day in February, a figure that, while seemingly trivial, underscores the rarity of criminal activity in Tewkesbury. When considering the monthly exposure, over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 50,975 residents. This statistic, when scaled to the local population, illustrates that the vast majority of residents experienced no direct interaction with crime during February. For a town of over 100,000 people, this suggests a level of safety that is distinct from the UK average, where crime is far more frequent. The population-scaled perspective further highlights that Tewkesbury’s crime profile is not just statistically low but also practically inconsequential for the everyday lives of its residents.
