Culcheth Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Culcheth’s July 2025 crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents places it 31.4% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, a striking contrast to the national trend. This figure masks a complex mix of crime types, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 19 incidents (3.1 per 1,000, 52.8% of total crimes). These violent crimes were 2% above the UK average for this category, highlighting a local anomaly in an otherwise low-crime area. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences each accounted for 16.7% of total crimes, with the latter being 56% above the UK average. The low property crime rate (4 incidents, 5.6% of total) stands out, suggesting a focus on personal safety over theft or burglary. Seasonal factors likely contribute to this pattern, as July—peak summer, with schools out, festivals, and outdoor events—may heighten social interactions and potential conflicts. Culcheth’s built-up character within Warrington, a commuter town with a mix of residential and commercial areas, may explain the focus on violent crime, linked to increased foot traffic in public spaces. While the overall rate is reassuringly low, the surge in violence and public order offences deserves closer attention, particularly as these categories deviate from the UK average in ways that could signal local pressures or events.

July 2025 saw dramatic increases in anti-social behaviour (+200%) and public order offences (+200%), both rising from 2 to 6 cases. Violence and sexual offences also surged by 137.5%, climbing from 8 to 19. This spike in violent crime contrasts with a 75% drop in criminal damage and arson, which fell from 4 to 1. Possession of weapons in Culcheth was 150% above the UK average, with 0.2 per 1,000 residents compared to the national rate of 0.1 per 1,000. These figures highlight a shift in crime mix, with violent incidents dominating over property crimes—a stark departure from the 4 property crimes recorded in July. Residents may find the daily crime rate of 1.16 incidents per day (36 total over 31 days) a useful benchmark for understanding local risk levels.

Culcheth’s July 2025 crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 100.3% increase from the previous month’s rate of 2.9 per 1,000, reflecting a sharp upward trend. This jump is most evident in the surge of violence and sexual offences, which rose from 8 to 19 cases—a 137.5% increase. Daily crime figures show one reported crime occurred every 31 days, translating to an average of 1.16 crimes per day in July. Over the course of the month, this equates to one crime for every 170 residents, a metric that highlights the frequency of incidents in a community of 6,133 people. While this rate is significantly lower than the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, the month-on-month rise underscores the need for vigilance. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the local rate, though below the national average, has fluctuated sharply, suggesting potential seasonal or situational factors influencing crime patterns during July.
