Carbis Bay Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Carbis Bay, the crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 in October 2025 translates to a daily risk of encountering one reported crime for every 302 residents over the course of the month. This figure sits 57.1% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, positioning the area as significantly safer than the national benchmark. The crime profile reveals a stark dominance of violent crimes, which accounted for 61.1% of all incidents (11 cases), far outweighing property crimes (1 case). This imbalance suggests that interpersonal conflicts or public safety concerns may be more prevalent than economic crimes in this built-up coastal area. Seasonal factors likely contributed to the pattern: October’s shorter evenings and the approach of Halloween could have influenced both the frequency and nature of incidents. While violent crime rates remain lower than the UK average, the concentration of these incidents raises questions about local dynamics—whether linked to transient populations, seasonal tourism, or other factors. The relatively low property crime rate may reflect the area’s character as a small, tightly-knit community with fewer commercial hubs compared to larger urban centres. However, the absence of data on specific demographics or land use means these observations remain tentative, grounded in the available statistics rather than definitive conclusions.

October 2025 saw a 38.5% increase in Carbis Bay’s crime rate compared to September (2.4 per 1,000), driven by sharp rises in three categories. Public order offences doubled to 2 incidents, criminal damage and arson emerged from zero to 1, and possession of weapons also rose from zero to 1—all 100% increases month-on-month. These jumps contrast with a 33.3% decline in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 3 to 2. While violent crimes (11 incidents) remained the dominant category, their rate of 2.0 per 1,000 was 25% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.7 per 1,000). Similarly, public order offences (0.4 per 1,000) were 25% below the UK average, and anti-social behaviour (0.4 per 1,000) was 68% below. However, possession of weapons (0.2 per 1,000) was an outlier, 186% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This anomaly suggests a potential shift in local crime dynamics, though the small numbers mean interpretation must be cautious. For residents, the most immediately relevant figure is the 100% increase in public order offences, which could indicate heightened tensions during October’s darker evenings or events tied to the Halloween season.

Carbis Bay’s crime rate in October 2025 (3.3 per 1,000) marks a 38.5% increase from the previous month’s rate of 2.4 per 1,000.1% below the UK average. Translating this into daily risk, the area experienced an average of one reported crime per day in October, a figure that may feel more tangible for residents than abstract per-1,000 statistics. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 302 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average, which would equate to a far higher frequency in a similarly sized population. This disparity highlights Carbis Bay’s unique position within the UK’s broader crime profile, where its built-up coastal character likely contributes to lower crime rates compared to more densely populated or economically deprived areas. However, the month-on-month rise in violent and public order offences suggests that local conditions—such as seasonal transitions or temporary increases in transient populations—may have temporarily altered the crime profile. While the population-scaled perspective underscores the area’s overall safety, the sharp increases in specific categories warrant closer attention to ensure sustained low rates, particularly as the year progresses into busier holiday periods.
