Culcheth Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Culcheth’s crime rate in January 2025 stood at 2.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 63.4% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This figure reflects a sustained trend of low crime levels in the area, which is consistent with its status as a built-up zone within Warrington. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.8% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.8%) and criminal damage and arson (12.5%). These figures align with seasonal patterns typical for January, when reduced retail activity and shorter daylight hours likely contribute to lower outdoor crime rates. The area’s violence and sexual offences rate of 1.1 per 1,000 is 56% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the national trend of higher violent crime rates in urban centres. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour and criminal damage remain well below UK averages, though the latter saw a 100% increase month-on-month. These data points suggest a combination of local factors—such as community engagement, policing strategies, or the area’s character as a relatively quiet residential zone—that may explain Culcheth’s consistently low crime profile.

January 2025 saw a 22.2% decrease in violence and sexual offences, falling from nine to seven incidents—a shift that contrasts with the UK average rate of 2.5 per 1,000, where Culcheth’s figure of 1.1 per 1,000 is 56% lower. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson increased by 100%, rising from one to two incidents, though this remains well below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 25%, with three incidents reported in January compared to four in December. Other theft dropped sharply by 66.7%, from three to one incident, reflecting a possible seasonal reduction in opportunistic theft during the post-holiday period. These shifts highlight a combination of local dynamics and broader national trends, with Culcheth’s crime profile showing both resilience and vulnerability to specific factors.

Culcheth's crime rate in January 2025 dropped to 2.6 per 1,000 residents, a 15.8% decrease from the previous month's 3.1 per 1,000. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns typical for January, when reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours often correlate with lower outdoor crime activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 383 residents—a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in absolute terms. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime per day, reflecting a consistent low-level presence of criminal activity. When compared to the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000, Culcheth remains significantly safer, with its rate 63.4% below the national benchmark. This sustained underperformance relative to the UK average suggests a combination of local factors—such as strong community policing, low population density, or the area’s character as a relatively quiet built-up zone—that may contribute to the area’s consistently low crime levels.
