Carbis Bay Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Carbis Bay’s crime profile in March 2025 reveals a distinct balance of crime types that reflects both the area’s character and seasonal dynamics. With a crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents — 57.7% below the UK average — the area demonstrates a marked contrast to national trends. The most prevalent crime type was anti-social behaviour, accounting for 38.9% of all reported incidents, followed by violence and sexual offences (33.3%) and criminal damage and arson (11.1%). This mix suggests a focus on community-level disruptions rather than more severe crimes. The seasonal context of March, with its transition to spring and extended evenings, may partly explain the prominence of anti-social behaviour, as increased public activity in the area’s coastal and built-up spaces could contribute to such incidents. In contrast, violent crime rates were lower than the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 1.1 per 1,000 — 60% below the national figure. This discrepancy may be influenced by Carbis Bay’s relatively small, tightly-knit population and its coastal location, which may deter certain types of crime. The low rate of vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000) and other theft (0.4 per 1,000) further reinforces the area’s overall safety profile, though the doubling of these categories compared to February indicates a shift in local patterns that warrants further observation. The balance of crime types highlights a community where public order issues dominate over more serious offences, a trend consistent with the characteristics of a smaller, rural-adjacent built-up area.

March 2025 saw a 40.0% decrease in violence and sexual offences, falling from 10 to 6 incidents — a shift that may partly explain the overall decline in the area’s crime rate. Conversely, criminal damage and arson, other theft, and vehicle crime all doubled compared to February, with each category rising from zero to two or one incidents respectively. This spike in property-related crimes contrasts with the UK average, where these categories remain significantly lower. Anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 38.9% of all crimes in March, is 4% above the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000. This suggests a localised pattern of disruptive behaviour that may be influenced by the area’s seasonal transition — as evenings lengthen in spring, public spaces may see increased activity that contributes to such incidents. For residents, the notable reduction in violent crime offers a concrete indicator of improved safety in the area.

Carbis Bay's crime rate in March 2025 (3.3 per 1,000) marks an 18.1% decline from February's 4.0 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that aligns with the low overall rate. When scaled to the population of 5,444 residents, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 302 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in the area, particularly when compared to the UK average. The population-scaled perspective highlights that residents face a significantly lower risk of experiencing crime than the national average, though local factors such as the area’s coastal and built-up characteristics may contribute to this profile. The daily crime count, while low, remains a tangible metric for residents to contextualise their personal risk.
