Saundersfoot Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Saundersfoot’s April 2024 crime rate of 0.3 per 1,000 residents places it 96.1% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a striking contrast that underscores the area’s unique safety profile. The sole recorded crime category—anti-social behaviour—accounted for 100% of incidents, with a rate of 0.3 per 1,000, 75% below the UK average for this category. This extreme disparity may be attributed to Saundersfoot’s character as a small built-up area within Pembrokeshire, likely shaped by its coastal location and low population density. Seasonal factors in April, including the Easter period and spring weather, may have influenced increased outdoor activity, yet this did not correlate with higher crime rates. The absence of property or violent crime suggests that local conditions—such as strong community ties, limited commercial hubs, or geographical isolation—play a critical role in maintaining low crime levels. However, the concentration of anti-social behaviour in this month raises questions about whether temporary gatherings or events may have contributed. Residents should remain vigilant during peak times, even as the area’s overall safety remains exceptional compared to national trends.

April 2024 saw anti-social behaviour as the sole crime category recorded in Saundersfoot, with 2 incidents reported. This category’s rate of 0.3 per 1,000 residents is 75% below the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000, a significant divergence that may reflect the area’s low population density and limited public spaces. While the overall crime rate remains stable compared to previous months (no data provided), the absence of property or violent crime contrasts sharply with national trends. Residents should note that anti-social behaviour, though infrequent, was the only category recorded, suggesting a need for targeted community engagement strategies. The lack of other crime types may indicate effective local policing or environmental factors that deter more common offences.

Saundersfoot's crime rate in April 2024 remained exceptionally low, with just 2 total crimes reported over 30 days. This translates to roughly 0 crimes per day, a figure that underscores the area’s consistently low exposure to criminal activity. When scaled to the population of 7,002 residents, the monthly exposure rate was 1 reported crime for every 3,501 residents—a statistic that places Saundersfoot far below national averages. While the UK average crime rate for anti-social behaviour is 1.2 per 1,000, Saundersfoot recorded 0.3 per 1,000, a 75% deficit that highlights the area’s unique safety profile. This stark contrast to the UK norm suggests that local factors—such as community cohesion, limited commercial activity, or geographical isolation—play a significant role in sustaining such low crime levels. Residents may find reassurance in these figures, though vigilance remains essential during peak seasonal activity periods like Easter.
