St Agnes Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of St Agnes, the crime rate in May 2024 translates to a daily risk so minimal it is practically negligible. With a rate of 1.7 crimes per 1,000 residents—79.8% below the UK average—the area remains among the safest in the country. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (40% of total), followed by drugs-related incidents (20%) and other theft (10%). This distribution reflects the impact of seasonal factors, such as longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, which may contribute to a higher proportion of violent crimes compared to other months. However, the overall volume of incidents remains extremely low, with only 10 total crimes reported across the built-up area. The UK comparison highlights a stark contrast: while St Agnes’ violent crime rate is 75% below the national average, its drugs-related offences are 36% above, suggesting a unique local dynamic. The low property crime rate (3 total) further reinforces the area’s safety profile, with thefts and vehicle crimes remaining rare. These patterns align with the character of St Agnes as a rural built-up area, where community cohesion and limited commercial activity likely mitigate opportunities for certain types of crime. As May’s longer evenings draw more people outdoors, the data illustrates a balance between seasonal activity and the area’s inherent low-risk environment.

May 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with drugs-related offences surging by 100% to 2 cases, and anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime each rising from 0 to 1. This increase in drugs-related incidents contrasts with a 75% drop in criminal damage and arson, which fell from 4 to 1. Violence and sexual offences, though remaining the most common category (40% of total crimes), decreased by 63.6% compared to the previous month. These changes reflect a shift in crime mix, with property crimes (3 total) now outnumbered by violent crimes (4 total). The drugs category, at 0.3 per 1,000, is 36% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000, suggesting a localised factor influencing this rise. For residents, the low overall crime rate and the absence of daily incidents offer reassurance, even as specific categories experience short-term fluctuations.

St Agnes’ crime rate in May 2024 dropped to 1.7 per 1,000 residents, a 41.1% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 2.9. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with crime levels 79.8% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, reflecting a near-absent presence of criminal activity in everyday life. Monthly exposure statistics show that, over the course of May, one reported crime occurred for every 593 residents—a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this small community. While some categories like drugs and anti-social behaviour saw increases, these remain isolated occurrences rather than systemic trends. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with fluctuations, the overall risk to residents remains exceptionally low compared to both regional and national benchmarks.
