Streetly Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Streetly’s June 2025 crime rate of 2.1 per 1,000 residents places the area 74.1% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, highlighting a stark contrast to national trends. This built-up area within Walsall, while not immune to crime, demonstrates a consistent pattern of lower rates compared to the UK, particularly in violent offences, which account for 39.4% of all reported crimes. Violence and sexual offences, the most prevalent category, remain 72% below the UK average, a figure that may reflect the area’s relatively stable community dynamics or effective local policing. Criminal damage and arson (12.1% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (12.1%) also contribute to the crime profile, though both are significantly below UK levels. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the onset of summer, could influence patterns such as increased outdoor activity, which may explain the rise in criminal damage and arson. However, the overall low rate of violent crime suggests that factors such as community cohesion or targeted initiatives may be playing a role. While burglary is slightly above the UK average, its contribution to the overall rate remains minimal, underscoring the broader trend of safety in the area. These figures, when contextualized within the UK framework, illustrate Streetly’s position as a relatively low-risk environment.

June 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories, with criminal damage and arson rising by 100% compared to the previous month, likely driven by increased outdoor activity during summer. Anti-social behaviour also doubled, potentially linked to seasonal gatherings or extended daylight hours. Conversely, public order offences fell by 80%, possibly reflecting reduced incidents during a quieter period in the area’s calendar. Vehicle crime dropped by two-thirds, which may align with fewer vehicles on the road during school holidays. While burglary remained slightly above the UK average (0.3 vs 0.3 per 1,000), the overall rate for violent crimes (0.8 per 1,000) was 72% below the national benchmark. These shifts suggest that seasonal factors, such as the start of summer, may influence crime patterns, though the exact drivers remain to be explored.

Streetly’s crime rate in June 2025 (2.1 per 1,000 residents) marks a 5.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 2.3 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but consistent downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate of one reported crime for every 468 residents illustrates that the likelihood of experiencing crime here is significantly lower than the UK average. This figure, while seemingly small, provides residents with a tangible sense of the statistical risk they face. The comparison to the UK average highlights that Streetly’s crime profile is markedly safer, though the slight increase in criminal damage and arson raises questions about localized factors that may have contributed to this shift. The population context further emphasizes that the crime rate, while low, remains a topic for ongoing local scrutiny.
