Rhoose Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.2% of all reported crimes in Rhoose during May 2025, making them the dominant category despite the area's overall crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents—49.4% below the UK average of 8.1. This stark contrast to the national profile underscores Rhoose's unique characteristics, likely shaped by its built-up yet smaller-scale nature within the Vale of Glamorgan. The crime picture in May reflects seasonal influences, with longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising potentially contributing to the 13 reported incidents of violence and sexual offences. While vehicle crime rose sharply to 0.9 per 1,000 (125% above the UK average), other categories such as anti-social behaviour and criminal damage saw significant increases, though these remain far below national levels. The area's low crime rate overall, particularly in property-related offences, may be attributed to factors such as lower population density or strong local community engagement, though these remain speculative without further data. The breakdown shows that Rhoose's crime profile is not only significantly safer than the UK average but also marked by specific anomalies in certain categories, requiring careful contextualisation.

May 2025 saw sharp increases in anti-social behaviour (+150%), criminal damage and arson (+100%), and vehicle crime (+100%) compared to April, with vehicle crime reaching 0.9 per 1,000 residents—125% above the UK average of 0.4. This surge in vehicle-related incidents, despite the area's low overall crime rate, suggests a specific vulnerability or shift in local patterns, potentially linked to seasonal factors such as increased outdoor activity and longer evenings. Conversely, other theft and public order offences both declined by 25%, indicating a mixed picture in the month's crime trends. The dominance of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 34.2% of all reported crimes, remains a key focus, though this category is itself 51% below the UK average. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, where specific categories can diverge significantly from national trends despite the area's overall safety profile.

Rhoose's crime rate in May 2025 rose by 58.3% compared to the previous month, climbing from 2.6 to 4.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though still well below the UK average, reflects a shift in local dynamics. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that may appear low but underscores the relatively low crime environment compared to larger urban centres. When scaled to the population of 9,276, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 244 residents—a statistic that contextualises the frequency of incidents in a way that is tangible for local residents. This perspective is particularly useful for understanding the relative safety of the area, even as specific crime categories like vehicle crime show marked deviations from UK averages. The comparison highlights how Rhoose's unique profile, potentially shaped by its built-up yet smaller-scale nature, influences the crime profile differently than more densely populated regions.
