Dinas Powis Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Dinas Powis, a built-up area within the Vale of Glamorgan, reported a crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, a figure 63% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s generally low crime profile, which aligns with the characteristics of smaller communities where crime rates are typically lower than in larger urban centres. The most common crime types were violence and sexual offences (45.5% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (13.6%) and other theft (13.6%). These figures suggest a balance between personal safety concerns and broader community issues, though the relatively low overall rate indicates effective local crime prevention measures or a naturally lower risk environment. Seasonal factors may have influenced patterns: November’s shorter days and events like Bonfire Night could have affected public order offences, though the significant drop in such incidents this month remains unexplained. The area’s crime picture also shows that while violence and sexual offences remain a concern, they are lower than the UK average, reflecting the community’s demographics or local initiatives that mitigate such crimes. The low rate of property crimes, particularly shoplifting and vehicle crime, which are 68% and 75% below UK averages respectively, may be linked to the area’s smaller retail footprint or lower population density, which could reduce opportunities for such offences. This data reinforces that Dinas Powis, like many smaller built-up areas, maintains a crime profile that is less severe than the national average, though localized factors will continue to shape monthly variations.

November 2025 saw a 28.6% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 14 to 10 incidents. This decline contrasts with a 200% increase in other theft, which rose from 1 to 3 cases. Bicycle theft also doubled, moving from 0 to 1 incident, suggesting potential shifts in criminal focus during the month. Violent crimes in Dinas Powis remained 53% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 67% above average for bicycle theft—a rare outlier in an otherwise low-crime area. The drop in public order offences (from 6 to 1) and vehicle crime (from 2 to 1) may partly reflect the impact of darker evenings and reduced foot traffic linked to Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping. These changes highlight a combination of seasonal events and local crime dynamics.

Dinas Powis recorded a crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, a 31.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.9 per 1,000. This decline brings the area’s crime rate further below the UK average, which stood at 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, reflecting a low-frequency pattern consistent with smaller built-up areas. When scaled to the population of 8,268, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 376 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low risk compared to larger urban centres. While the daily crime count remains stable, the shift in crime types—particularly the drop in violent crimes and the rise in other theft—suggests evolving patterns that may reflect seasonal or localized factors. The population context reinforces that Dinas Powis, as a smaller community, maintains a crime profile distinct from densely populated regions, where higher rates are more common.
