South Cave Crime Rate October 2024 | Monthly Statistics

South Cave's October 2024 crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents marked a significant improvement compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, with the area recording a 56.8% reduction in overall crime. This performance places South Cave among the lowest-crime areas in the country, a position consistent with its historical pattern of relatively low crime levels. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 36.4% of all reported incidents, yet this rate remained 51% below the UK average. Public order offences, though rising by 100% compared to the previous month, still aligned with the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Other thefts formed the second-largest category at 13.6%, with this rate 11% below the UK average. The seasonal context of October—marked by darker evenings, the transition to British Summer Time, and Halloween—likely influenced patterns of activity, particularly in public spaces. While the area's low population density and suburban character may contribute to its generally low crime rates, the specific reductions in shoplifting and other crime categories suggest targeted efforts or natural seasonal declines. These trends highlight a balance between local characteristics and broader national patterns, with South Cave's crime profile continuing to reflect its status as a relatively safe built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire.

October 2024 saw notable reductions in certain crime categories, with shoplifting decreasing by 33.3% (from 3 to 2 incidents) and other crime falling by 50.0% (from 2 to 1). These declines align with the broader 8.3% monthly drop in the overall crime rate. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 36.4% of all crimes, but this rate was 51% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. Public order offences, while rising by 100% (from 2 to 4 incidents), still remained at the UK average level of 0.6 per 1,000. Vehicle crime, which surged by 100% (from 0 to 1 incident), was 57% below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. These shifts highlight a combination of local factors and national trends, with some categories showing resilience against typical seasonal pressures. For residents, the 50% reduction in 'other crime' offers a tangible indicator of improved safety in areas not typically associated with high-risk activity.

South Cave's crime rate for October 2024 stood at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, marking an 8.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.9 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months, though seasonal factors may have played a role. On a daily basis, 22 total crimes were reported across 31 days, translating to approximately one crime per day. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 284 residents, reflecting a relatively low level of exposure compared to larger urban centres. When scaled to the area's population of 6,238, this means that 22 crimes accounted for less than 0.4% of the total resident population. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which is not directly comparable due to the absence of equivalent daily or monthly exposure figures for the country as a whole. The population-scaled perspective underscores the area's continued status as a relatively low-crime locality, with crime patterns that appear to be influenced more by local characteristics than by national trends.
