Gresford Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gresford’s crime rate in July 2025 stood at 2.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 76.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s significantly lower exposure to crime compared to the national context. The most common category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 38.9% of all reported incidents, though this rate (0.8 per 1,000) is 74% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed, contributing 27.8% of total crimes, with a rate of 0.6 per 1,000, 61% below the UK figure. These patterns align with Gresford’s character as a built-up area within Wrexham, where community-focused policing and lower population density may contribute to reduced crime. Seasonal factors in July—such as the peak of summer festivals, school holidays, and increased outdoor activity—likely influence the types of crimes reported. While violence and sexual offences dominate, the relatively low rates of property crime (6 incidents) compared to the UK average suggest a focus on personal safety over theft. The overall crime profile reflects a balance between local dynamics and broader national trends, with Gresford’s low crime rate remaining a consistent feature despite the seasonal fluctuations.

July 2025 saw a 150% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This category, which accounts for 27.8% of total crimes, is 61% below the UK average of 1.6 per 1,000. Other theft also rose sharply, doubling from 1 to 2 incidents, a 100% increase, though it remains 64% below the UK rate of 0.6 per 1,000. Robbery, which had not occurred in June, emerged as a new category in July, adding 1 incident. This spike in anti-social behaviour may reflect the impact of summer festivals and extended outdoor activities, which are common in Gresford during this time of year. Residents may find the daily crime count of 1 incident per day useful for contextualising local safety, though the overall rate remains exceptionally low compared to national benchmarks.

Gresford’s crime rate in July 2025 rose by 19.5% compared to the previous month, moving from 1.6 to 2.0 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the daily crime count remains low: just 1 crime per day over the 31-day period. This translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 510 residents, a figure that, when considered alongside the area’s population of 9,172, illustrates the relatively sparse nature of criminal activity. The local context suggests that even with the upward trend, Gresford continues to experience far fewer incidents than the UK average, which stood at 8.6 per 1,000. For residents, this means the likelihood of encountering crime remains minimal, though the rise in anti-social behaviour and other thefts may warrant closer attention to community engagement and local event management. The small population size amplifies the visibility of each incident, making even minor fluctuations more pronounced in statistical terms.
