Clevedon Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Clevedon’s crime rate for February 2024 was 4.4 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the built-up area 38% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This significant disparity highlights Clevedon’s status as a relatively safe community within the broader UK context. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 45.7% of all reported incidents, followed closely by shoplifting and vehicle crime, each contributing 12.8%. The dominance of violent crimes in Clevedon’s crime profile contrasts with the UK average, where property-related offences tend to hold a larger share. This pattern may reflect local characteristics, such as Clevedon’s role as a coastal town with a mix of residential and tourist activity, which could contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime compared to more industrial or rural areas. Seasonal factors also appear to influence the crime picture, with February—a winter month marked by lower outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—showing a slight decline in overall crime compared to peak seasonal periods. However, the area’s overall safety remains evident, with violent crimes in Clevedon being 20% below the UK average, and other categories such as burglary and anti-social behaviour significantly lower than national levels. These figures suggest that while Clevedon is not immune to crime, its unique demographic and geographic profile likely play a role in shaping its crime picture in ways distinct from other parts of the country.

February 2024 saw dramatic shifts in Clevedon’s crime profile, with shoplifting surging by 300% from January’s three incidents to 12. This sharp increase, which places shoplifting 11% above the UK average, may be linked to seasonal factors or changes in retail activity. Concurrently, criminal damage and arson rose by 233.3%, reflecting a notable uptick in property-related offences. In contrast, anti-social behaviour fell by 87.5%, from eight to one incident—a drop that aligns with the area’s generally low rates of such offences. The drug-related crime category also saw a 100% increase, with one reported incident, though this remains well below the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, with property crimes (shoplifting and vehicle crime) contributing 25.6% of total incidents, compared to 45.7% for violent crimes. This shift in the crime mix from the previous month suggests a potential reallocation of criminal activity, though the underlying causes remain to be fully understood.

Clevedon’s crime rate in February 2024 stood at 4.4 per 1,000 residents, marking a 7.9% increase from the previous month’s 4.0 per 1,000. While this upward trend is modest, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, which sits at 7.1 per 1,000. On a daily basis, Clevedon recorded approximately three crimes per day over the 29-day month, a figure that contextualises the local scale of criminal activity. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 230 residents—a rate that underscores the relative security of the built-up area despite the slight month-on-month rise. This statistic is particularly meaningful for residents, as it provides a tangible measure of risk compared to the broader UK context, where the average resident faces a higher likelihood of experiencing crime. The population-scaled perspective further highlights Clevedon’s position as a comparatively low-risk area. increase suggests that local factors—such as seasonal transitions or temporary spikes in specific crime types—may have influenced the figures.
