Winchcombe Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Winchcombe's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 41.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national figures underscores the area's relative safety, a position reinforced by its unique demographic and geographic profile. As a built-up area within Tewkesbury, Winchcombe benefits from a low-density urban environment that may contribute to its lower crime rates compared to larger cities. The top three crime categories—violence and sexual offences (30.4% of total), anti-social behaviour (26.1%), and burglary (13.0%)—illustrate a community where interpersonal conflicts and property-related incidents dominate, but overall violence remains below UK levels. Seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping likely influenced the crime profile, with increased foot traffic and events potentially contributing to anti-social behaviour. However, the area's overall crime profile remains characterised by stability, with violent crime rates 49% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. This suggests that while Winchcombe is not immune to localised spikes, its broader safety record is robust. The interplay of these factors—seasonal activity, community dynamics, and geographical context—shapes a crime picture that is both distinct and reflective of national trends.

November 2025 marked a significant shift in Winchcombe's crime profile, with anti-social behaviour surging by 100% to six incidents, the highest recorded category. This increase, from three incidents in October, aligns with seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night events and the start of the Christmas shopping period, which may contribute to heightened public interactions and disturbances. Conversely, public order offences fell by 66.7%, from three to one, a decline that may reflect the reduced visibility of such incidents during darker evenings or community efforts to address them. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 22.2%, from nine to seven, a trend consistent with the broader UK context where this category is 49% below the national average. The area's burglary rate, at 0.6 per 1,000, is 100% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000, highlighting a specific vulnerability in residential security that warrants attention. These shifts illustrate the nuanced interplay of local dynamics and broader national trends, offering residents a clearer picture of their immediate environment.

Winchcombe's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.3 per 1,000 residents, a 4.3% increase from the previous month's 4.2 per 1,000. This slight rise, while statistically minimal, reflects the dynamic nature of local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate reveals that one crime occurred for roughly every 231 residents, a measure that highlights the relative rarity of incidents in this built-up area. This rate contrasts sharply with the UK average, where the equivalent figure would be significantly higher. The population context further underscores that Winchcombe's low crime rate is not merely a reflection of its size but also of its character as a relatively stable, low-density urban environment within Tewkesbury. Such metrics provide residents with a tangible understanding of their local security landscape, even as small fluctuations in monthly rates are noted.
