Carbis Bay Crime Rate October 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In October 2023, Carbis Bay maintained a crime rate of 1.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 81.2% below the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. This exceptionally low rate reflects a community where criminal activity is rare compared to national trends, though the small number of incidents means patterns can be influenced by seasonal factors. The top crime categories—criminal damage and arson (37.5%), violence and sexual offences (37.5%), and anti-social behaviour (25%)—suggest a mix of property-related and low-level disorder issues. The absence of significant property crime (only 3 incidents) contrasts with the higher share of violent crimes, though both categories remain well below UK averages. October's transition to darker evenings and the proximity of Halloween may have contributed to a slight uptick in criminal damage and arson, a pattern consistent with coastal areas where seasonal events can influence crime dynamics. The area's character as a small, possibly seasonal resort town likely plays a role in its crime profile, with limited commercial activity and transient populations reducing opportunities for more frequent criminal acts. This suggests that while the area is not immune to crime, its low population density and geographical context create an environment where criminal incidents are infrequent and often isolated.

October 2023 saw a 50% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 2 to 3 incidents. This category, which accounts for 37.5% of total crimes, remains 5% below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 50%, falling from 4 to 2 incidents—a significant shift that may reflect seasonal changes or local community efforts. Violence and sexual offences, though down by 25% from the previous month, still constitute 37.5% of reported crimes, a rate 78% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's unique crime profile, where violent crime is exceptionally rare compared to national trends. For residents, the low overall crime rate—1.5 per 1,000—translates to a very low risk of encountering crime in daily life, particularly when compared to larger urban areas.

Carbis Bay's crime rate in October 2023 stood at 1.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a 20.1% decline from the previous month's rate of 1.8 per 1,000. This downward trend suggests a continued period of relative safety, though the low volume of reported crimes means statistical fluctuations can occur. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, highlighting the infrequency of incidents in this small built-up area. Monthly exposure to crime translates to one reported crime for every 681 residents, a figure that underscores the rarity of criminal activity in the region. Given the area's population of 5,444, this means the likelihood of encountering crime is exceptionally low compared to larger urban centres. The low crime rate may reflect the area's character as a coastal community with limited commercial density and a transient population during off-peak seasons, though seasonal factors like shorter evenings and Halloween could influence patterns.
