St Agnes Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

St Agnes, a built-up area within Cornwall, recorded a crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents in January 2025, placing it 83.1% below the UK average of 7.1. This stark contrast underscores the area's exceptionally low crime profile, a pattern consistent with its small population and rural-urban hybrid character. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 57.1% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (28.6%) and criminal damage and arson (14.3%). While violent crime rates in St Agnes were 72% below the UK average, property crime remained low, with only one incident reported—a rate of 0.2 per 1,000 residents. This imbalance between property and violent crime may reflect the area's unique social dynamics, where community cohesion and limited commercial activity reduce opportunities for theft but leave room for interpersonal conflicts. Seasonal factors likely contribute to this pattern, as January’s post-holiday period, shorter days, and reduced retail footfall align with lower property crime rates but do not eliminate incidents of violence. The low overall crime rate, combined with the dominance of violent offences, suggests that local initiatives focused on conflict resolution and community engagement may play a critical role in maintaining safety. However, the absence of significant property crime contrasts with the UK average, where property-related offences often dominate. This divergence could indicate that St Agnes’ compact size and strong social networks act as natural deterrents to theft, even as other factors influence violent crime patterns.

January 2025 saw a 50.0% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 8 incidents in the previous month to 4—a shift that may reflect seasonal changes or temporary reductions in community tensions. Conversely, anti-social behaviour increased by 100.0%, rising from 0 to 2 incidents, a sudden spike that deserves closer attention to local dynamics. Violent crime in St Agnes remains 72% below the UK average, with a rate of 0.7 per 1,000 residents compared to the national figure of 2.5 per 1,000. This gap highlights the area’s success in mitigating violence, though the concentration of violent crimes relative to property crimes suggests a need for targeted interventions. For residents, the most immediate takeaway is the low likelihood of encountering property crime, with only one incident reported in January—a rate 80% below the UK average for similar offences. This contrast between violent and property crime trends offers a nuanced picture of safety in St Agnes, where community-focused policing and limited commercial activity may contribute to the area’s unique crime profile.

St Agnes’ January 2025 crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents marked a 22.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 1.5, reflecting a continuing downward trend in local crime. Over the course of the month, only 7 crimes were reported, equating to roughly 0 crimes per day—a daily figure that underscores the area’s exceptionally low crime environment. When scaled to the population, this means one reported crime occurred for roughly every 847 residents during the month, a rate that places St Agnes among the safest areas in the UK. This monthly exposure statistic, while not directly comparable to national figures, illustrates the rarity of crime in a community of just over 5,900 residents. The contrast with the UK average is stark: while the national rate of 7.1 per 1,000 residents includes a mix of property and violent crime, St Agnes’ profile is dominated by violent offences despite their lower overall count. This discrepancy highlights the importance of context in interpreting crime data, as the area’s small size and specific demographics shape the types of incidents that occur. For residents, the numbers translate to a high level of personal safety, though the presence of violent crime—albeit at a fraction of the UK average—reminds the community that vigilance remains necessary.
