Rural Wrexham Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a notable shift in Rural Wrexham’s crime profile, with a 19.8% increase in the overall crime rate to 5.0 per 1,000 residents—still 31.5% below the UK average. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (27.8% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (20.8%) and criminal damage and arson (16.7%). These figures, while lower than national benchmarks, highlight localized challenges. The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night, may have exacerbated certain trends, such as the sharp rise in public order offences. The area’s built-up nature within Wrexham’s rural expanse could explain the relatively low burglary rates (1.4% of total crimes), as opposed to more isolated rural areas where property crimes are more common. However, the 51% increase in criminal damage and arson compared to the UK average raises questions about localized factors, such as community tensions or environmental pressures. The balance between violent and property crimes also shifted slightly, with property crimes (38.9% of total) remaining a smaller share than violent crimes (27.8%), a pattern consistent with the area’s mix of residential and commercial land use. While the overall crime rate remains well below the UK average, the surge in specific categories underscores the need for targeted awareness, particularly around public order and vehicle-related incidents, which may be influenced by seasonal and environmental factors.

Public order offences saw a staggering 400% increase in November, rising from one to five incidents. This surge aligns with the seasonal context of dark evenings and Bonfire Night, which may have contributed to heightened tensions in local gatherings. Vehicle crime also doubled, jumping from one to three reported cases—a sharp rise that could be linked to increased anti-social behaviour or disruptions in parking patterns during the month. Criminal damage and arson in the area stood 51% above the UK average, a figure that contrasts with the overall rate being 31.5% below the national average. This disparity suggests that while the area is generally safer, certain crime types remain concentrated. Residents should be particularly vigilant around public spaces during evening hours, given the sharp rise in public order incidents. The decrease in violence and sexual offences by 13% may reflect targeted policing efforts or seasonal lulls.

Rural Wrexham’s crime rate in November 2025 rose by 19.8% compared to the previous month, climbing from 4.2 to 5.0 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is modest, it underscores a shift in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the built-up nature of the area within Wrexham’s broader rural context. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 201 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places the area well below the UK average. This statistic, however, does not account for the specific nature of crimes—such as the sharp rise in public order offences—which may indicate localized pressures. The population context further highlights that even with a relatively small population of 14,474, the crime rate remains significantly below the UK average, suggesting that factors unique to the area, such as community cohesion or local policing strategies, may be playing a role in maintaining lower overall crime levels despite the recent uptick in certain categories.
