St Agnes Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

In January 2026, St Agnes maintained a crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure 70.6% below the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000. The balance between property and violent crimes—six property-related incidents and five violent crimes—suggests a unique dynamic in this built-up area of Cornwall. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 41.7% of all crimes, a rate of 0.8 per 1,000 that was 68% below the UK average. This may reflect the area’s character as a small, low-density community with limited opportunities for crime beyond isolated incidents. Property crimes, meanwhile, were dominated by criminal damage and arson (three incidents), a category that slightly exceeded the UK average by 4%. The seasonal context of January—post-holiday, with shorter days and reduced retail activity—likely contributed to the overall low crime volume, as outdoor and commercial spaces typically see higher activity during other months. The absence of significant spikes in theft from the person or vehicle crime (except for the noted 100% increase in other theft and vehicle crime) aligns with the area’s limited urban infrastructure and transient population. These patterns suggest that St Agnes’s crime profile is shaped more by its geographical isolation and sparse population than by broader societal trends, though the slight increase from December may hint at seasonal fluctuations in reporting or activity.

January 2026 saw a notable shift in crime composition, with property and violent crimes each accounting for roughly half of the 12 total incidents. This balance contrasts with the UK average, where violent crimes typically make up a smaller proportion. Other theft increased by 100% from zero to two incidents, while vehicle crime also rose by 100% from zero to one, marking the first recorded instances of these categories in the month. Violent crimes, though only five in total, were 68% below the UK average of 2.5 per 1,000, a disparity likely influenced by St Agnes’s low population density and limited nightlife. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson (three incidents) slightly exceeded the UK average by 4%, a figure that may reflect local factors such as seasonal weather conditions affecting property maintenance.

St Agnes recorded a crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000 residents in January 2026, an 8.6% increase from the previous month’s rate of 1.9. This upward shift, though small, contrasts with the broader trend of consistently low crime levels in the area. Daily crime data shows an average of 0 crimes per day over the month, reflecting the sparse population density and limited urban infrastructure typical of a built-up area within Cornwall. Over the course of January, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 494 residents, highlighting the rarity of incidents in a community of 5,929 people. This monthly exposure rate underscores the area’s relative safety, even as the slight increase from December suggests potential seasonal fluctuations. While the UK average crime rate is 6.8 per 1,000, St Agnes remains significantly below this benchmark, a pattern consistent with rural and semi-rural regions where crime tends to cluster around specific locations rather than being evenly distributed.
