Saundersfoot Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Saundersfoot’s crime rate in March 2025 stood at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, a figure 82.1% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s consistently low crime profile, a trend likely influenced by its character as a small, coastal built-up area within Pembrokeshire. The breakdown of incidents reveals a notable shift in crime mix: violent crimes — specifically violence and sexual offences — accounted for 70% of all reported incidents, while property crimes made up the remaining 30%. This diverges from the UK average, where property crimes typically dominate. The dominance of violent crime in March may be partly explained by the season, as the transition to spring and longer evenings could influence social dynamics in the area’s public spaces. However, the local rate for violent crime remains significantly lower than the UK average, with 1.0 per 1,000 compared to the national figure of 2.7 per 1,000. This suggests that while the type of crime may shift seasonally, the overall risk to residents remains low. The low crime rate is further reinforced by the absence of major spikes in categories like criminal damage, public order, or theft from the person — all of which were below the UK average. The area’s compact size and likely strong community cohesion may contribute to this stability, as smaller communities often see faster resolution of incidents and greater informal deterrence. Seasonal factors in March — including the end of winter and the start of warmer weather — may also play a role in shaping crime patterns. Overall, the figures illustrate a place where crime is not only rare but also consistently below national benchmarks, a position that appears unlikely to change in the near term.

March 2025 saw a 250% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 2 to 7 incidents. This jump, while notable, still left the local rate at 1.0 per 1,000 — 63% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. Other theft also rose sharply, doubling from 0 to 1 incident. Despite these increases, the overall crime rate remained unchanged from February, indicating no month-on-month shift in the broader pattern. The dominance of violent crime — accounting for 70% of all incidents — contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically make up a larger share. This shift in crime mix may reflect seasonal factors, as March’s lengthening evenings could influence social interactions in Saundersfoot’s public spaces. A resident would find the daily crime rate of 0 incidents per day particularly reassuring, highlighting the area’s continued safety despite the rise in specific categories.

Saundersfoot's crime rate remained stable in March 2025 compared to February, maintaining the same rate of 1.4 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day over the month, reflecting an exceptionally low frequency of incidents. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 700 residents, a figure that places the area well within the lower end of national benchmarks for similar-sized communities. This low monthly exposure, combined with the stability in the crime rate, indicates that residents face minimal risk of encountering crime in their daily lives. The population context further reinforces this, as the small size of Saundersfoot likely contributes to stronger community awareness and quicker response times from local authorities.
