Cwmbrân Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Cwmbrân’s crime rate of 0.1 per 1,000 residents in November 2025 places it 98.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, highlighting its status as one of the safest areas in the country. The area’s overall crime profile is dominated by two categories: violence and sexual offences (accounting for 50% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (also 50%). Both of these categories are 100% below the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 0.0 per 1,000 compared to the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends may partly reflect Cwmbrân’s character as a smaller, built-up area within Torfaen, where community cohesion and lower population density could contribute to reduced incidents of violent crime. Seasonal factors in November—such as the darker evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping—might have influenced local patterns, though the overall crime rate remains exceptionally low. The limited number of crimes recorded suggests that Cwmbrân’s residents experience minimal exposure to criminal activity compared to the national picture, with the area’s crime profile likely shaped by its relatively compact, suburban or semi-rural nature.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in violent crimes compared to October, with one incident reported—though this remains a rare occurrence given the area’s overall low crime rate. The category of violence and sexual offences, while small in absolute terms, is 100% below the UK average, reflecting a significant divergence from national trends. Similarly, anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 50% of total crimes, is also 100% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000. These figures underscore Cwmbrân’s consistently low levels of crime, particularly in categories that often dominate urban areas. For residents, the data reinforces that violent crime remains a rare event here, with the area’s crime profile more aligned with rural or smaller towns than larger cities. The limited impact of seasonal factors—such as the darker evenings or Bonfire Night—on crime rates further suggests that local community dynamics and infrastructure may play a role in maintaining this safety record.

Cwmbrân’s current crime rate of 0.1 per 1,000 residents translates to roughly 0 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that is practically negligible when compared to the UK average. Monthly exposure to crime in Cwmbrân means that, over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 22,165 residents—a ratio that highlights the area’s exceptional safety compared to the national picture. When scaled to the local population of 44,330, this means that fewer than 0.1% of residents experienced a crime in November 2025, a stark contrast to the UK’s 7.3 per 1,000 rate. This level of safety is particularly notable in a built-up area, where higher population density often correlates with increased crime rates. The data also suggests that Cwmbrân’s crime profile is not only lower in volume but also underrepresented in categories typically associated with urban centres, such as violent crime and anti-social behaviour. For residents, this means that daily life in Cwmbrân involves minimal risk of encountering crime, a statistic that could be attributed to factors such as strong community ties, effective local policing, or the area’s physical layout, which may limit opportunities for criminal activity.
