St Agnes Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2024, St Agnes recorded 12 crimes across a population of 5,929, resulting in a crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000 residents—75.6% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This figure, when contextualised, reflects a community where crime is exceptionally rare: for every 1,000 residents, just two crimes occurred, compared to nearly eight nationally. The breakdown of crimes reveals a notable pattern: 50% of incidents were violence and sexual offences, 25% anti-social behaviour, and the remaining 25% split across burglary, vehicle crime, and criminal damage. This concentration of violent crime, while higher than property-related offences, still aligns with the area’s character as a small, built-up coastal community where social dynamics may contribute to such incidents. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and the beginning of tourist activity—likely plays a role, though the overall low volume suggests that tourism has not yet driven a surge in crime. The low property crime rate, particularly burglary (0.2 per 1,000), may be linked to the area’s compact nature and limited high-value property concentrations, consistent with the profile of a small coastal town. These patterns, while influenced by seasonal factors, underscore St Agnes’ broader position as a place with significantly lower crime levels than the UK average.

June 2024 marked significant month-on-month increases in anti-social behaviour (+200%), burglary (+100%), and violence and sexual offences (+50%). These shifts, while notable, occurred against a backdrop of rates still well below UK averages. For instance, anti-social behaviour, now accounting for 25% of total crimes, remains 64% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. Similarly, violence and sexual offences, the most common category (50% of crimes), are 64% below the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000. This contrast between local trends and national benchmarks suggests that even with spikes, St Agnes’ crime profile remains distinct. A resident would find the 8.3% share of burglary (1 case) particularly telling, as it highlights the rarity of such incidents in this area despite the month-on-month increase.

St Agnes’ crime rate in June 2024 rose by 19.5% compared to the previous month, climbing from 1.7 to 2.0 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the daily crime context remains strikingly low: 12 crimes reported over 30 days equate to approximately 0 crimes per day. This figure underscores the area’s exceptionally low crime environment, even as activity levels rise slightly. On a monthly exposure basis, the rate translates to one reported crime for roughly every 494 residents, a statistic that highlights the rarity of incidents in this small community. When scaled to the population of 5,929, the 12 total crimes represent a minimal monthly impact, far below the UK average. This population-scaled perspective reinforces that St Agnes continues to be an area where crime is not a frequent concern for residents, despite the modest upward trend in June.
