St Agnes Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

St Agnes’ February 2025 crime profile illustrates an area where violent crimes dominate the limited number of incidents recorded, a pattern that contrasts with the UK average. The overall crime rate of 1.0 per 1,000 residents places the area 85.1% below the national average of 6.7 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the unique characteristics of this Cornish built-up area. Of the six total crimes reported, four were classified as violence and sexual offences, accounting for 66.7% of the total. This high proportion of violent crime, while seemingly at odds with the overall low rate, may be explained by the small population and the nature of the area, where incidents are more likely to be reported and categorised as such. The UK average for violent crimes is 2.4 per 1,000, meaning St Agnes’ rate is 70% below that figure, a difference that highlights the area’s exceptionally low levels of violent crime relative to the national context. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.2 per 1,000, is 79% below the UK average, while ‘other crime’—which includes a range of less common offences—remains at 0.2 per 1,000, 25% above the UK average. This latter category’s slight elevation may reflect the challenges of defining and categorising rare incidents in a small population. Seasonally, February’s low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull likely contribute to the limited crime volume, as the area’s isolation and sparse population reduce opportunities for more common types of crime, such as vehicle theft or retail-related offences. The combination of geographic isolation, small population size, and limited commercial activity appears to be a key factor in maintaining the area’s consistently low crime rates.

February 2025 saw a 100% increase in ‘other crime’ incidents, rising from 0 to 1, while anti-social behaviour fell by 50% (from 2 to 1). This shift in crime mix highlights a notable trend: although overall crime remained stable, the category of ‘other crime’—which includes less common offences such as fraud or other non-violent, non-property crimes—became more prominent. This increase, while statistically significant, remains an isolated incident in an otherwise low-crime environment. The category of violence and sexual offences, at 0.7 per 1,000, is 70% below the UK average for that type, a stark contrast to the national picture. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour, which decreased by half, continues to be a minor concern, with its rate at 0.2 per 1,000—79% below the UK average. For residents, the most immediately relevant insight is the absence of property-related crimes, which were not reported in February, a trend consistent with the area’s broader pattern of minimal property crime.

St Agnes’ February 2025 crime rate of 1.0 per 1,000 residents marked a 14.4% decrease from the previous month’s 1.2 per 1,000, reflecting a continued trend of stability in the area’s low-crime profile. Over the 28 days of February, the daily crime count averaged approximately 0 incidents, a figure that underscores the rarity of reported crimes in this small built-up area. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 988 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the local population. This level of activity remains far below the UK average, with violent crimes at 0.7 per 1,000—70% below the national benchmark for that category. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even the most common crime type, violence and sexual offences, affects fewer than 1 in 1,000 residents over the course of a month. These figures, while seemingly abstract, provide a tangible measure of safety for residents and visitors alike, reinforcing the area’s status as one of the least crime-affected regions in the UK.
