Rhoose Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rhoose's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 2.7 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 63.5% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's relatively low exposure to crime compared to national trends, though the data reveals specific fluctuations in crime types that demand attention. The most prevalent crimes were burglary, violence and sexual offences, and criminal damage and arson, each accounting for 20% of total incidents. These categories, while not dominating the overall rate, reflect a combination of local factors, including seasonal dynamics such as the back-to-school period and the start of university freshers' week in September. The timing of these events may contribute to increased activity in public spaces, potentially influencing crime patterns. Burglary and criminal damage and arson both saw significant increases, with the latter rising by 150% compared to the previous month. This surge in property-related offences may be linked to the heightened presence of students and new residents in the area, a demographic that could influence local crime dynamics. Meanwhile, violent crimes fell sharply, aligning with the UK average for this category. The overall low crime rate, despite these spikes, suggests that Rhoose remains a relatively safe environment, though residents should be mindful of the specific risks highlighted by the data.

September 2025 saw a sharp rise in criminal damage and arson, with incidents surging by 150% compared to August. This increase, from 2 to 5 cases, may partly explain the heightened awareness of property-related risks in the area. Burglary also doubled, with 5 incidents reported, a figure that stands at 0.5 per 1,000 — 79% above the UK average for this category. This suggests a potential vulnerability in local security measures, particularly in residential zones. Conversely, violent crimes fell by 58.3%, dropping from 12 to 5, a trend consistent with the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which remains 81% below the national benchmark. This contrast between property and violent crime underscores a shift in criminal activity patterns, with anti-social behaviour and other crimes also experiencing notable declines. Residents should remain vigilant regarding property-related offences, given the significant increase in burglary and arson.

Rhoose's crime rate in September 2025 fell by 7.2% compared to August, reflecting a slight but notable decline in overall criminal activity. With 25 crimes recorded over the month, this equates to approximately 1 crime per day, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents in the local community. When considering the population of 9,276 residents, the monthly exposure rate indicates that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 371 residents. This provides a tangible measure of risk for individuals living in the area, illustrating that while crime remains relatively low, it is not absent. The decline in crime rate aligns with broader patterns observed in the Vale of Glamorgan during the autumn months, where reduced outdoor activity and the transition from summer to winter may contribute to lower incident rates. However, the month-on-month changes reveal specific fluctuations in crime types that warrant closer examination.
