St Agnes Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,929, the 12 crimes reported in June 2025 equate to one incident for every 494 residents — a remarkably low figure by UK standards. St Agnes’ overall crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000 residents places it 75.3% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a gap that reflects the area’s rural character and limited urban density. The crime profile shows a near-equal split between property and violent crimes, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 50% of the total, followed by criminal damage and arson (25%) and other theft (25%). This balance may partly explain by the area’s small-scale nature, where a single incident can impact multiple categories. Seasonal context suggests June’s crime patterns align with the start of summer, when tourism begins to rise in Cornwall’s coastal regions. However, the low volume of crimes indicates that local factors — such as the community’s tight-knit social fabric and limited commercial activity — likely contribute to this trend. The absence of significant property crime spikes or violent incidents beyond the 6 reported suggests that seasonal fluctuations have not yet driven a surge in activity, though the 100% increase in criminal damage and arson may hint at targeted acts during this period.

June 2025 saw a 100% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 0 to 3 incidents — a stark contrast to the 40% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 10 to 6. This shift in crime mix suggests a possible reallocation of criminal activity. The rate of violence and sexual offences in St Agnes (1.0 per 1,000) is 65% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, highlighting the area’s exceptionally low violent crime profile. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson (0.5 per 1,000) is 14% below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, a finding that may reflect the limited infrastructure and remote nature of the built-up area, reducing opportunities for such crimes. Other theft (0.5 per 1,000) is 2% below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, though this near-parity suggests no significant divergence from national trends. For residents, the 40% drop in violence and sexual offences offers a tangible reassurance, particularly during the summer months when outdoor activity increases.

The crime rate in June 2025 (2.0 per 1,000) marks a 25.2% decline from the previous month’s rate of 2.7 per 1,000, indicating a sustained downward trend. On a daily basis, the 12 total crimes over 30 days translate to approximately 0 crimes per day — a figure that underscores the area’s low crime environment. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate of 1 crime per 494 residents illustrates minimal risk, though this must be contextualised against Cornwall’s broader rural crime patterns. The previous month’s rate of 2.7 per 1,000 still places St Agnes well below the UK average, reinforcing the area’s status as a low-crime locale. This consistency may be attributed to the built-up area’s limited commercial and residential density, which reduces opportunities for both property and violent crime. The monthly exposure figure, while low, also reflects the challenges of gathering data in sparsely populated regions, where underreporting can skew statistics. For residents, the comparison to the previous month and the UK average provides a clear benchmark, though the absolute numbers remain so low that their practical implications for daily life are minimal.
