In Clevedon, a coastal town in North Somerset, the crime rate for October 2025 stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents — 35.1% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, while relatively low, reflects a mix of crime types that align with the area’s characteristics. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.6% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (15.0%) and public order offences (11.2%). These patterns are consistent with Clevedon’s role as a tourist destination and commuter hub, where high foot traffic and seasonal events like Halloween may influence criminal activity. The relatively low rate of property crimes, particularly burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000), suggests that the town’s infrastructure and community initiatives may be contributing to a safer environment for residents. However, the 13% increase in public order offences compared to the UK average highlights a potential area for improvement, linked to the area’s nightlife or the influx of visitors during peak seasons. Seasonal factors also play a role: with clocks going back in October, darker evenings may have contributed to a rise in vehicle-related crimes and anti-social behaviour. While the overall crime rate remains stable, the interplay between local demographics, geography, and seasonal rhythms continues to shape Clevedon’s crime profile. For residents, the 5.0 per 1,000 rate translates to a low probability of encountering crime — a statistic that, while reassuring, underscores the importance of vigilance in areas where crime rates, even if small, may still be influenced by external factors.
