Clevedon Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Clevedon's November 2024 crime profile reveals a total of 101 incidents, translating to 4.7 crimes per 1,000 residents—a figure 38.2% below the UK average of 7.6. This rate, which equates to roughly 3 crimes per day, underscores the area's relative safety, particularly when considered in the context of its population of 21,609. The breakdown of crimes highlights a concentration in violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 44.6% of the total, followed by anti-social behaviour (12.9%) and public order offences (9.9%). These figures are significantly below the UK averages for their respective categories, with violent crime 19% lower and anti-social behaviour 46% lower. The seasonal context of November, including events such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday, may have influenced certain patterns, though no major spikes were recorded in shoplifting or vehicle crime. The relatively low rates of burglary and other theft—35% and 64% below the UK average respectively—suggest that Clevedon's built-up nature, combined with potential local security measures, may contribute to its overall lower crime profile. The area's coastal location and mixed-use residential and commercial zones likely play a role in fostering community engagement and reducing opportunities for crime, though the small increases in 'other crime' and 'drugs' indicate the need for continued vigilance. For residents, the data illustrates a generally safe environment, with the majority of crimes falling into categories that are lower than national averages, even as localised shifts in crime types warrant attention.

November 2024 saw a 100% increase in 'other crime' and 'drugs' offences, rising from zero to three and one respectively, a shift that contrasts with a 50% decrease in 'other theft' and 33.3% reductions in 'vehicle crime' and 'burglary'. Violent crimes, which comprised 44.6% of the total, remained 19% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a statistic that may partly explain the overall lower crime rate for the area. Anti-social behaviour also showed a marked 46% deficit compared to the UK average, with 13 incidents reported—though this figure remained stable month-on-month. The seasonal context of November, including Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, likely influenced patterns in public order and retail-related crimes, though no significant spikes were recorded in shoplifting or vehicle crime. For residents, the 33.3% drop in burglary—a category often linked to rural or isolated properties—suggests that local security measures or demographic stability may be contributing factors. Public order offences rose by 42.9%, reflecting potential impacts of seasonal events on community dynamics.

Clevedon's November 2024 crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents reflects a 4.9% decline from the previous month's 4.9 per 1,000, highlighting a sustained reduction in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes reported each day, a figure consistent with the built-up nature of Clevedon and its relatively low population density compared to larger urban centres. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 214 residents, a statistic that, when scaled to Clevedon's population of 21,609, underscores the area's position as a safer-than-average locality. This rate is 38.2% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, a disparity that may be influenced by Clevedon's coastal location and the presence of mixed-use zones that foster community engagement and deterrence mechanisms. The localised nature of Clevedon, with its blend of residential and commercial areas, likely contributes to this lower rate, though the small but notable increases in 'other crime' and 'drugs' suggest that emerging patterns warrant further consideration within the broader context of an overall safer environment.
