St Agnes Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in St Agnes, 2.7 crimes were recorded in May 2025—a figure 66.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of approximately 1 crime for every 371 residents over the course of the month, reflecting a relatively low exposure compared to national trends. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, which made up 62.5% of all reported incidents (10 cases). This category’s rate of 1.7 per 1,000 is 40% below the UK average, suggesting a marked divergence from national patterns in violent crime. Other theft (3 cases, 18.8% of total) followed, with its rate (0.5 per 1,000) 6% below the UK average. The seasonal context of May—characterised by bank holidays, longer evenings, and increased outdoor socialising—may partly explain the prevalence of violent offences, as heightened interactions in public spaces could contribute to such incidents. Possession of weapons, though rare (1 case, 6.3% of total), saw a 150% increase above the UK average (0.1 per 1,000). The area’s small population and rural setting likely play a role in these statistics, with limited urban density reducing opportunities for property crimes but not eliminating risks entirely. The data highlights a generally safe environment, though the spike in weapon possession warrants cautious interpretation due to its low absolute numbers.

May 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories. Possession of weapons, previously unreported, rose to 1 case—a 100% increase. Similarly, public order offences and other theft both jumped from 0 to 1 and 3 cases respectively, though these remain minor compared to the overall crime rate. Anti-social behaviour, however, dropped by 83.3% (from 6 to 1 cases), indicating a marked reduction in such incidents. The shift in crime mix reveals a contrast between violent offences (62.5% of total) and property crimes (18.8% of total), with the former dominating. Violence and sexual offences in St Agnes are 40% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 150% increase in weapon possession, which is 150% above the UK rate. This divergence suggests that while violent crime is relatively low, specific categories like weapon-related incidents require targeted attention. For residents, the most immediate insight is the daily crime context: with 16 crimes reported over 31 days, the likelihood of encountering a crime in St Agnes remains low, particularly when compared to urban centres with higher population densities.

St Agnes’ crime rate in May 2025 (2.7 per 1,000 residents) represents a 15.6% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.2 per 1,000, indicating a downward trend. Over the course of the month, this translates to one reported crime for every 371 residents—a figure that underscores the area’s relatively low exposure to crime compared to the UK average. Daily crime statistics show an average of one crime per day, a manageable frequency for a community of approximately 5,929 residents. This context is critical for understanding risk: in a small built-up area like St Agnes, where social networks are tightly knit and public spaces are limited, the likelihood of encountering crime is significantly reduced compared to larger urban centres. The monthly exposure figure of 1-in-371 residents is particularly informative for local residents, as it provides a tangible measure of personal risk. While the overall rate is well below the UK average, the comparison highlights that St Agnes’ unique demographic and geographic profile—likely shaped by its rural location and small population—contributes to this disparity. The decline from the previous month suggests that local conditions, such as seasonal patterns or community initiatives, may be influencing crime trends, though further analysis would be required to confirm this.
