Gresford Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area of 9,172 residents, November 2025 saw 11 crimes reported in Gresford, translating to a crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 — a figure 83.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s relative safety, though the low volume of crimes raises questions about the factors sustaining such a low rate. The breakdown reveals public order offences as the most prevalent category, accounting for 27.3% of total crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.2%) and criminal damage and arson (18.2%). These figures suggest that Gresford’s crime profile is shaped by community dynamics rather than high-risk environments typically associated with urban centres. Seasonal context may play a role, as November’s dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night could contribute to public order issues, yet the absence of violent crimes — which stood at just 9.1% of total incidents — indicates a marked divergence from national patterns. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, but Gresford recorded only 0.1 per 1,000, a 96% deficit. This discrepancy may reflect the area’s built-up nature within Wrexham, where smaller populations and localized policing could reduce opportunities for more severe crimes. The low incidence of property crimes, such as burglary (9.1% of total) and shoplifting (9.1%), further supports the notion that Gresford’s crime profile is characterized by minor, non-violent incidents rather than systemic issues. However, the sharp increases in public order and criminal damage — despite remaining below UK averages — highlight the need for targeted interventions, particularly as November’s seasonal factors may have amplified these issues.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in Gresford’s crime profile, with three categories experiencing 100% increases compared to October. Burglary, criminal damage and arson, and public order offences all rose sharply, though the latter two remain well below UK averages. Violent crimes, however, fell by 90.9%, dropping from 11 to 1, a stark contrast to the previous month. This shift highlights a possible seasonal influence, with the timing of Bonfire Night and Black Friday potentially amplifying public order issues while reducing violent incidents. Anti-social behaviour, at 18.2% of total crimes, was 81% below the UK average, suggesting local initiatives or community cohesion may be effective in curbing such offences. Shoplifting decreased by 66.7%, aligning with a broader trend of property crimes being 50% lower than October. These patterns, while modest in scale, indicate that Gresford’s crime mix remains distinct from national trends, with public order concerns overshadowing more severe offences.

In November 2025, Gresford recorded 11 total crimes, equating to a crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents — a 50% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 2.4 per 1,000. This drop reflects a marked shift in local crime patterns, with daily crime counts averaging 0 incidents over 30 days. For context, over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 834 residents, a figure that underscores the area’s relative safety compared to national averages. While the population of 9,172 means each resident faces a lower probability of encountering crime than the UK average, the month-on-month decline suggests sustained efforts in community policing or seasonal factors influencing criminal activity. The low daily crime count, though seemingly paradoxical, aligns with Gresford’s built-up area status within Wrexham, where compact communities and local engagement may contribute to deterrence. This monthly exposure figure, while statistically low, provides a tangible measure of risk for residents, showing that most people in the area experience no crime throughout the month.
