Saundersfoot Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Saundersfoot’s April 2025 crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents stands 85.7% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the area’s consistent safety. The breakdown reveals that violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 62.5% of all incidents, followed by 'other crime,' criminal damage, and possession of weapons. This mix contrasts with broader UK trends, where violence typically constitutes a smaller share of total crime. Seasonal factors may have influenced the profile: Easter and spring weather often drive increased outdoor activity, which could explain the slight uptick in non-violent crimes like possession of weapons. However, the overall low rate suggests that Saundersfoot’s policing, community cohesion, and geographical characteristics—such as its small, close-knit built-up area—contribute to its safety. The low property crime rate (1 incident) further reinforces that the area’s infrastructure and residential layout may deter such offences. While the rise in 'other crime' and weapons possession warrants attention, these figures remain outliers in an otherwise stable environment. The data aligns with Saundersfoot’s character as a rural coastal community where tourism and seasonal rhythms shape activity patterns, yet the absence of major crime spikes indicates that local initiatives and natural deterrents are effective.

April saw a 100% increase in 'other crime' and 'possession of weapons,' both rising from zero to one incident. This shift, while statistically significant, remains an isolated occurrence in an area where violent crime accounts for 62.5% of all reported incidents. The decrease in violence and sexual offences by 28.6% (from seven to five) contrasts with the rise in non-violent categories, a mix that suggests seasonal or situational factors may have influenced activity. Violence and sexual offences in Saundersfoot remain 73% below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), a gap that highlights the area’s continued safety despite the small uptick in other categories. For residents, the increase in possession of weapons—though low in absolute terms—could signal a need for heightened awareness in public spaces during peak outdoor hours.

Saundersfoot's crime rate in April 2025 fell by 20.3% compared to March, reflecting a continued downward trend. With 8 crimes reported over 30 days, the daily crime count averages 0 incidents, a figure that underscores the area’s exceptionally low crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 875 residents, a statistic that places Saundersfoot among the safest communities in the UK. This monthly exposure rate, when contextualised against the local population of 7,002, illustrates that the likelihood of encountering crime is minimal for most residents. The shift from March’s 1.4 per 1,000 to April’s 1.1 per 1,000 aligns with broader seasonal patterns, though the absence of significant spikes in property crime or violent incidents suggests that the area’s policing and community measures remain effective. For those living or visiting, these figures reinforce that Saundersfoot continues to maintain a secure environment, despite the small increases in specific categories highlighted in the data.
