Saundersfoot Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 7,002, Saundersfoot recorded 8 crimes in June 2025, translating to a crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents. This figure is 86.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, placing the area among the safest in the country. The crime profile was dominated by violent offences—7 out of 8 incidents—though this category still fell 65% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.9 per 1,000). Property crimes, at just 1 incident, were 83% below the UK average for criminal damage and arson (0.6 per 1,000). The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer and the tourism season in coastal areas, may partly explain the low crime rate. Longer daylight hours and increased foot traffic in Saundersfoot's historic centre could deter opportunistic offenders. The area's compact size and limited commercial activity may also reduce the likelihood of crimes such as burglary or vehicle theft. However, the high proportion of violent offences—despite the overall low rate—raises questions about local factors, such as the transient nature of some residents or the impact of isolated incidents. These patterns underscore the need for continued monitoring, as seasonal and demographic shifts could influence crime trends in the coming months.

June 2025 saw a 36.4% reduction in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 11 to 7 incidents. This decline, combined with a 75% decrease in criminal damage and arson (from 4 to 1), highlights a marked shift in crime patterns. The dominance of violent crimes—7 out of 8 total incidents—contrasts with the UK average, where violent crimes account for 65% of all reported crimes. Saundersfoot's violent crime rate of 1.0 per 1,000 is 65% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, a disparity that may reflect the area's small population and limited nightlife. The month-on-month drop in criminal damage is particularly striking, suggesting that seasonal factors, such as increased tourist activity, may have temporarily reduced opportunities for such offences. For residents, the low overall crime rate—just 1.1 per 1,000—offers reassurance that daily life in Saundersfoot remains largely unaffected by criminal activity.

Saundersfoot's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 1.1 per 1,000 residents, marking a 63.7% decrease from the previous month's 3.1 per 1,000. This drop aligns with the typical seasonal shift in coastal areas, where increased tourism and longer daylight hours may deter criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0.27 crimes per day, though this figure is rounded to 'roughly 0 crimes per day' due to the small number of incidents. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 875 residents, highlighting the low likelihood of encountering crime in this community. When scaled to the local population of 7,002, the crime rate underscores Saundersfoot's relative safety compared to the UK average, which is 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast suggests that the area's compact size, strong community presence, and limited commercial activity may contribute to its low crime profile. The monthly exposure metric offers a tangible perspective for residents: the chance of experiencing a crime is significantly lower than in larger, more densely populated regions.
