Lymm Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Lymm's crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 in July 2025 places it 55.8% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, highlighting its relative safety compared to national trends. The area's crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences (18 cases, 37.5% of total crimes), followed by burglary (8 cases, 16.7%) and vehicle crime (5 cases, 10.4%). This mix reflects a balance between personal safety concerns and property-related incidents, though the overall low rate suggests a stable, low-crime environment. July, a peak summer month with festivals and tourism, typically sees increased foot traffic and events, yet Lymm's figures remain well below the UK average. The lower rates may be partly explained by its suburban character within Warrington, where community cohesion and infrastructure could contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. However, the prominence of violent offences—though still below the UK average—raises questions about local factors such as social dynamics or policing strategies. The data also shows that property crimes, while present, are not high compared to the national picture, indicating a broader trend of crime prevention measures in place.

July 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories. Burglary increased by 166.7%, jumping from 3 to 8 incidents—a stark rise that outpaces the UK average by 122%. This surge may reflect seasonal factors, such as holidays or changes in resident activity. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 70%, from 10 to 3 cases, suggesting effective local interventions or natural declines in summer months. Other theft and shoplifting also fell by 62.5% and 50% respectively, indicating improved security measures or reduced opportunities for petty crime. Violent crimes—though still the largest category—remain 54% below the UK average, with 1.4 per 1,000 residents. This contrast highlights Lymm's unique position: while personal safety issues persist, they are far less prevalent than in most parts of the UK. Residents may find the sharp drop in anti-social behaviour particularly reassuring, as it suggests that community-focused policing or local initiatives are having an impact.

Lymm's crime rate in July 2025 (3.8 per 1,000) fell slightly by 4.1% compared to the previous month's rate of 3.9 per 1,000, marking a small but consistent decline. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 2 crimes per day—a figure that, while not negligible, is far lower than the UK average. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 266 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area's relative safety. When scaled to Lymm's population of 12,768, this means that the average resident faced a significantly lower risk of crime compared to the national average. The contrast with the UK is stark: Lymm's overall rate is nearly half that of the national figure, and many individual crime categories, such as public order offences and anti-social behaviour, are 69% and 87% below the UK average respectively. This suggests that Lymm's community structure, policing efforts, or socio-economic factors may be creating an environment where crime is less likely to occur. However, the rise in burglary—a category where Lymm is 122% above the UK average—indicates that certain vulnerabilities remain, requiring targeted attention.
