Lymm Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 in Lymm reveals a stark contrast between violent and property crime, with the former dominating the crime profile. The overall crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents places the area 63% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, highlighting a consistently lower risk environment compared to national trends. Violent crimes, including violence and sexual offences, account for 32.4% of total incidents, outnumbering property crimes (8.8%) by a significant margin. This imbalance may partly reflect the area’s character as a suburbanised community with strong local policing presence and limited high-density housing, which could reduce opportunities for property-related offences. Seasonal factors also appear to influence patterns, as the month’s dark evenings and Bonfire Night events may contribute to heightened reports of violence and anti-social behaviour. The rate of violence and sexual offences (0.9 per 1,000) is 65% below the UK average, suggesting effective community engagement strategies or environmental design features that deter such incidents. Meanwhile, property crimes like shoplifting remain relatively low (0.2 per 1,000), 68% below the UK average, due to the area’s retail profile being less concentrated than in larger urban centres. This mix of crime types, coupled with the area’s demographic stability, illustrates a low-crime environment where violent incidents, though present, are not frequent compared to other UK locations.

November 2025 saw significant shifts in crime dynamics, with violent crimes declining by 35.3% month-on-month to 11 incidents, while property crimes remained stable. This reduction in violence may reflect the impact of targeted police initiatives or seasonal factors, such as the winding down of Bonfire Night-related activity. Conversely, non-violent categories like 'other crime' and 'shoplifting' surged by 200% each, likely tied to Black Friday shopping activity or changes in local business operations. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 41.7% (from 12 to 7), possibly due to increased community engagement during the month. The area’s violent crime rate (0.9 per 1,000) is 65% below the UK average, a stark contrast to categories like 'other theft' (80% below the UK average), which may indicate robust local security measures. For residents, the daily crime count of 1 per day offers a tangible benchmark for understanding local risk levels, though this remains far below the UK’s average of 2.3 crimes per day. The sharp increase in 'other crime' (3 incidents) raises questions about emerging trends, such as cybercrime or unclassified incidents, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this. These fluctuations underscore the importance of monitoring monthly patterns to identify both persistent and transient factors influencing safety.

Lymm’s November 2025 crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents marks a 29.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.8, reflecting a notable improvement in local safety. This decline aligns with the broader trend of reduced violent crimes, which fell from 17 to 11, suggesting sustained efforts in community policing or environmental crime prevention. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 1 crime per day, a figure that, while modest, provides a concrete reference point for residents assessing local risk. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 376 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average, where the equivalent figure would be closer to 1 in 140 residents. This disparity underscores Lymm’s status as a relatively safe area, with crime levels that are not only below national benchmarks but also showing consistent downward momentum. The population-scaled perspective further highlights the area’s success in maintaining low crime rates despite seasonal pressures like dark evenings and retail activity. These metrics, when contextualised against the UK’s higher rates, reinforce the effectiveness of local initiatives in addressing both violent and property-related offences, ensuring that the community remains a low-risk environment for its residents.
