Gresford Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2024, Gresford maintained a crime rate of 0.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 89.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast to national trends underscores the area's consistently low levels of criminal activity. The top crime categories were violence and sexual offences (3 incidents, 42.9% of total), criminal damage and arson (2 incidents, 28.6%), and anti-social behaviour and other theft (1 incident each, 14.3% each). These figures align with the seasonal context of April, which typically sees increased outdoor activity during the Easter period and spring weather. The low rate of violence and sexual offences, despite their share of total crimes, remains 88% below the UK average, suggesting either strong local deterrents or unique demographic factors. The built-up nature of Gresford within Wrexham may contribute to this pattern, as urban areas often experience different crime dynamics compared to rural regions. However, the absence of significant spikes in property crimes or public order offences indicates a stable environment, with community factors potentially playing a role in maintaining low crime rates. The seasonal shift from winter to spring may also influence crime patterns, though the overall trend remains one of minimal criminal activity.

April 2024 saw a dramatic 66.7% decrease in Other theft, with incidents falling from 3 to 1. This sharp decline may reflect seasonal changes or increased community vigilance during the Easter period. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.9% of all crimes, a category where Gresford's rate of 0.3 per 1,000 is 88% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This suggests a persistent underperformance in violent crime relative to national standards, though the absolute numbers remain extremely low. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 50%, from 2 to 1, potentially linked to the Easter holiday reducing opportunities for such incidents. Gresford's overall crime rate remains 89.6% below the UK average, highlighting the area's consistently low levels of criminal activity. These patterns may be influenced by the built-up area's characteristics, including its integration within Wrexham's broader infrastructure.

Gresford's crime rate in April 2024 dropped to 0.8 per 1,000 residents, a 36.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 1.2 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with a broader trend of lower crime activity observed in recent months. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 1,310 residents, reflecting an exceptionally low monthly exposure rate. When scaled to daily activity, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day, highlighting the rarity of incidents in Gresford. This figure is particularly notable when compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, which underscores the area's consistent underperformance relative to national trends. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Gresford remains a low-crime environment, with residents experiencing significantly fewer incidents than the national average. This stability may be influenced by local factors such as community engagement or the built-up area's specific characteristics, though further analysis would be required to confirm these links.
