Carbis Bay Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,444, Carbis Bay's November 2024 crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents translates to just 22 total incidents, a figure that underscores the area's exceptionally low crime density. This rate, which is 47.4% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, reflects a consistent pattern of safety in this coastal resort. The breakdown of incidents reveals a striking dominance of violent crimes, with 12 cases (54.6% of total) reported, compared to 6 property crimes. This violent crime concentration is notable, as it diverges from typical patterns in tourist areas where property crime often dominates. The category of violence and sexual offences, at 2.2 per 1,000, remains 15% below the UK average, suggesting effective local measures in preventing such incidents. However, the 58% above-average rate for criminal damage and arson—5 cases in total—highlights a specific vulnerability. This category's elevated rate may be linked to seasonal factors, as November includes Bonfire Night, a period associated with increased fire-related incidents. The overall crime profile is further shaped by the area's character as a seasonal destination, where transient populations and limited commercial activity may contribute to lower baseline crime rates. While the low overall rate is encouraging, the concentration of violent crimes raises questions about local dynamics, particularly in relation to the area's nightlife and seasonal events. The interplay between these factors and the crime picture will be critical to monitor in subsequent months.

November 2024 saw a 100% increase in burglary incidents, rising from zero to one reported case. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may partly explain the shift in crime mix, as property crime now constitutes 27% of the total, compared to 54.6% for violent crimes. The category of criminal damage and arson, which rose to 5 cases, fell 28.6% from October, placing it 58% above the UK average. This anomaly contrasts with the significant 46% reduction in anti-social behaviour, which dropped to three incidents from four in October. The violence and sexual offences category, now at 12 cases, remained 15% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Residents may find the 1-in-247 monthly exposure rate particularly relevant, as it illustrates the low likelihood of encountering crime in this area. The shift in crime type balance—violent crimes now outpacing property crime for the first time this year—suggests evolving dynamics that may reflect seasonal factors like Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping.

Carbis Bay's November 2024 crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents marks a 15.5% decrease from the previous month's 4.8 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained decline in reported incidents. This reduction aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months. On a daily basis, the 22 total crimes reported in November equate to approximately one crime per day, a figure that underscores the relatively low crime density in this coastal community. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 247 residents, a statistic that places the area in stark contrast to the UK average. With a population of 5,444, the monthly exposure rate highlights the rarity of criminal activity in Carbis Bay, particularly when compared to the national context. This low incidence is consistent with the area's character as a seasonal tourist destination, where transient populations and limited commercial activity may contribute to lower baseline crime levels. The drop in criminal damage and arson, coupled with the rise in violence, suggests shifting patterns that warrant further contextual analysis.
