Culcheth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Culcheth recorded 29 crimes across its population of 6,133 residents, translating to a crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000—35.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This performance places the area firmly within the safer end of the national spectrum, though specific crime types reveal nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 31% of all crimes (9 incidents), while anti-social behaviour (6 incidents) and burglary (4 incidents) contributed 20.7% and 13.8% respectively. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended darkness—likely influenced these trends. For example, the 133% increase in burglary rates compared to the UK average may reflect heightened opportunities during the festive season. Conversely, violent crime rates were 42% below the UK average, possibly due to the area's character as a built-up residential zone with fewer high-traffic nightlife areas. Anti-social behaviour, though rising sharply, still remained 6% below the UK average, suggesting effective local community engagement. The overall low crime rate, combined with specific fluctuations in property crime, illustrates an area where broader safety measures appear to be functioning, albeit with pockets of activity that warrant continued monitoring.

November 2025 saw sharp increases in criminal damage and arson (+200%), burglary (+100%), and anti-social behaviour (+100%). These rises contrast with steep declines in shoplifting (-50%) and public order offences (-40%). The burglary rate of 0.7 per 1,000 residents—133% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000—stood out as a local anomaly. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.5 per 1,000 (31% of total crimes), were 42% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, though doubling from 3 to 6 incidents, remained 6% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000. The stark contrast between property crime trends—burglary rising sharply while shoplifting fell—suggests shifting patterns in criminal activity, possibly influenced by seasonal factors like dark evenings and Bonfire Night.

Culcheth's November 2025 crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents marks a 26.1% increase from the previous month's 3.8 per 1,000. This rise, while notable, remains well below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime every 30 days, translating to a local monthly exposure of one crime for every 211 residents. For context, this means that over the course of November, a resident had a 1-in-211 chance of being directly affected by a reported crime. The population scale further contextualises this: 29 crimes in a community of 6,133 residents equates to less than 0.5% of the population being involved in a crime. While the month-on-month increase suggests a shift in local dynamics, the overall rate remains significantly lower than the national average, reflecting Culcheth's consistent performance relative to the UK as a whole.
