Gresford Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gresford's crime rate in February 2025 stood at 1.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 85.1% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This built-up area within Wrexham maintains a consistently low crime profile, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 33.3% of reported incidents, followed by public order (22.2%) and other theft (22.2%). The seasonal context of February—a winter month with low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—likely contributes to the subdued crime environment. While the UK experiences higher rates of public order and property crimes during this period, Gresford's figures remain markedly lower. The absence of shoplifting incidents in February, compared to the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, suggests that local retail areas may not face the same pressures as larger urban centres. The area's low population density (9,172) and compact built-up nature may also play a role in limiting opportunities for certain crime types. Despite the 28.9% month-on-month increase in overall crime rates, the absolute numbers remain minimal, reflecting a stable and secure community profile. The combination of seasonal factors, local demographics, and geographic characteristics appears to sustain Gresford's position as one of the safer areas in the UK.

February 2025 saw a 100% increase in public order offences, rising from 1 to 2 incidents. Criminal damage and arson also doubled, moving from 0 to 1, while other theft increased by the same margin. These spikes, though significant, still leave Gresford's rates for these categories 55-87% below UK averages. The balance of crime types shifted slightly, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 33.3% of total incidents—higher than the UK average for this category. The 1.0 per 1,000 overall rate means that property crimes (4 incidents) and violent crimes (3 incidents) combined represent a small fraction of the UK's typical monthly burden. Residents may find the absence of shoplifting incidents noteworthy, as this category saw zero reports in February, contrasting with the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000.

Gresford's crime rate in February 2025 rose 28.9% compared to January's 0.8 per 1,000, yet remains 85.1% below the UK average. The daily crime count for the month was effectively zero, with 9 total crimes spread over 28 days. This equates to one reported crime for every 1,019 residents over the course of the month, highlighting the area's consistently low exposure to crime. When scaled to the population of 9,172, the monthly rate underscores the rarity of incidents in Gresford compared to national trends. The low frequency of crimes, even with the 28.9% increase, reflects the built-up area's stable environment and possibly its smaller size relative to larger urban centres. Residents may find reassurance in the monthly exposure figure, which suggests that the likelihood of encountering crime in Gresford is exceptionally low compared to the UK average.
