Gresford Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gresford's crime rate in January 2025 stood at 0.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 88.7% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area's status as one of the safest in the country. The most common crimes reported were anti-social behaviour (28.6% of total) and violence and sexual offences (28.6% of total), both of which were significantly below UK averages. Anti-social behaviour in Gresford occurred at a rate 80% lower than the UK average, while violent crimes were 92% below the national benchmark. These patterns may be influenced by the area's seasonal dynamics, with January marking a post-holiday period characterised by reduced retail activity and shorter daylight hours. The low crime rate aligns with Gresford's built-up nature and limited commercial spaces, which may naturally reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. While property crimes accounted for 28.6% of total reports, the overall emphasis on anti-social behaviour and violence suggests a focus on community-level issues rather than large-scale criminal activity. This data must be interpreted within the context of January's typical characteristics: a month with reduced foot traffic, fewer outdoor events, and a general shift in community rhythms that may contribute to lower crime rates. The combination of low population density and a compact built-up area likely plays a role in these statistics, as does the area's proximity to Wrexham's broader urban framework, which may divert some criminal activity to larger centres.

January 2025 saw a 60% decrease in violence and sexual offences, with reports dropping from five to two. This decline, combined with a 50% reduction in other thefts, suggests a marked improvement in public safety. Anti-social behaviour remained the most common crime type, accounting for 28.6% of total reports, but its rate (0.2 per 1,000) was 80% below the UK average. Violent crimes in Gresford were 92% below the UK average, a disparity that aligns with the area's low population density and limited nightlife activity. For residents, the most immediate takeaway is the 53.7% month-on-month drop in overall crime, which brings the area's rate to one of the lowest in the UK. The shift in crime mix—from property crimes in previous months to a focus on anti-social behaviour—may reflect seasonal factors, such as reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours. These trends highlight Gresford's unique position in the national crime profile.

Gresford's crime rate in January 2025 fell to 0.8 per 1,000 residents, a 53.7% drop from December's 1.6 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with a crime rate 88.7% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately zero crimes per day in January, reflecting a stark contrast to the UK's average of 7.1 per 1,000. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 1,310 residents—a figure that underscores the low probability of encountering crime in Gresford. When compared to the UK's average monthly exposure of one crime per 140 residents, Gresford's statistics highlight a marked divergence in local safety profiles. The population context further illustrates this: with 9,172 residents, the area's crime numbers suggest a community where daily life is rarely disrupted by criminal activity. These figures, while stark, must be interpreted alongside the area's unique characteristics, such as its compact built-up nature and seasonal activity patterns.
