St Agnes Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

St Agnes, a small built-up area within Cornwall, recorded a crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, placing it 65.8% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area's generally low crime profile, a pattern consistent with its rural-adjacent character and limited urban density. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 46.7% of all reported crimes, followed by burglary (13.3%) and criminal damage and arson (6.7%). These figures align with seasonal factors typical of November, including the onset of darker evenings, which may partly explain increased incidents of violence, and the timing of Black Friday shopping, which could contribute to property crime trends. The area's sparse population and geographical isolation from major urban centres likely play a role in maintaining its low crime rate, though the seasonal context of Bonfire Night and the transition into winter may introduce temporary fluctuations in crime patterns. The rate of violence and sexual offences in St Agnes (1.2 per 1,000) is 53% below the UK average, a disparity that could reflect both local community dynamics and the absence of high-risk environments such as late-night entertainment hubs. The overall crime profile remains markedly safer than national benchmarks, though the seasonal context of November—characterised by shorter daylight hours and festive events—may influence future trends.

November 2025 saw significant month-on-month changes in St Agnes, with drugs, burglary, and possession of weapons all increasing by 100% compared to October. This sharp rise in drug-related crimes, from zero to one incident, highlights a sudden shift that may be linked to the timing of Black Friday shopping, which could have increased opportunities for illicit activity. Burglary also doubled, influenced by the same seasonal factors affecting retail spaces. Conversely, other theft decreased by 50%, suggesting a temporary reduction in petty crime during the month. The category of violence and sexual offences remained the most significant contributor to the crime mix, though its rate (1.2 per 1,000) is 53% below the UK average. This discrepancy is consistent with the area's low population density and limited exposure to environments typically associated with higher rates of violent crime. Meanwhile, possession of weapons—reporting a rate of 0.2 per 1,000—surpassed the UK average by 186%, an outlier that may warrant further local investigation. These shifts in crime categories illustrate the dynamic nature of St Agnes' crime profile, even within a generally low-crime context.

In November 2025, St Agnes' crime rate rose by 36.0% compared to October 2025, moving from 1.9 to 2.5 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though still far below the UK average, suggests a temporary uptick in reported incidents that may be influenced by seasonal factors. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 0 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while statistically low, reflects the sparsity of population and limited urban infrastructure typical of the region. Monthly exposure to crime in St Agnes means that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 395 residents, a rate that, when contextualised against the population of 5,929, illustrates the area's exceptional safety record. This low level of crime is further reinforced by the fact that categories such as anti-social behaviour and public order offences are 81% and 57% below the UK average, respectively. However, the 186% increase in possession of weapons compared to the UK average raises questions about local enforcement or reporting practices. These figures collectively illustrate a community with minimal exposure to crime, despite the month-on-month fluctuations observed.
