Culcheth Crime Rate October 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Culcheth, 3.3 crimes were reported in October 2024—a figure 59.3% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s relatively low risk profile compared to national benchmarks, though local conditions shape the types of crime experienced. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 45% of all reported crimes, with 9 incidents recorded. This category’s rate (1.5 per 1,000) is 44% below the UK average, a disparity that may reflect Culcheth’s demographic and geographic characteristics. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 20% of total crimes (4 incidents), a rate 46% below the UK average. Public order offences, however, stood at 0.7 per 1,000—25% above the UK average—highlighting a nuanced picture where certain categories deviate from national trends. Seasonal factors, such as the transition to darker evenings in October and the proximity of Halloween, likely influenced these patterns. The shorter days and increased community gatherings may have contributed to both anti-social behaviour and public order incidents, while the decline in violence could indicate effective local interventions or natural fluctuations tied to the month’s unique rhythm. Culcheth’s crime profile, therefore, illustrates a balance between national trends and localized influences, where the built-up area’s characteristics intersect with broader seasonal dynamics.

October 2024 saw a notable 100% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 4 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 33.3% rise in public order offences, contrasts with a 35.7% decline in violence and sexual offences, which dropped from 14 to 9. The latter decrease may reflect seasonal factors, as the transition to darker evenings and Halloween activities could have redirected criminal activity toward more public spaces. Anti-social behaviour’s 100% increase is particularly striking, as it now constitutes 20% of total crimes, a share significantly higher than the UK average for this category (46% below). Meanwhile, public order offences—though still relatively low—surpassed the UK average by 25%, suggesting a unique local dynamic in how such incidents are reported or experienced. These shifts highlight the complexity of crime patterns in Culcheth, where community-specific factors may play a more pronounced role than national trends.

Culcheth's crime rate in October 2024 (3.3 per 1,000 residents) represents a 13.1% decline from the previous month’s rate of 3.8 per 1,000. This downward trend suggests a continued reduction in reported incidents, though the pace of decline has slowed compared to earlier in the year. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day in October, a figure that, while low, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in a relatively small population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 307 residents, a monthly aggregate that provides context for individual risk exposure. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average, but local factors such as population density and community engagement may further mitigate risk. The decrease in overall crime aligns with broader patterns observed in similar built-up areas within Warrington, where seasonal transitions and community policing efforts often intersect to influence crime trends.
