Saundersfoot Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Saundersfoot's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 2.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure 71.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This low rate, despite a month-on-month rise, underscores the area's consistently safer profile compared to national trends. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 80% of all reported incidents (12 cases), followed by criminal damage and arson (13.3%) and other theft (6.7%). The dominance of violent crime over property-related offences contrasts with broader UK patterns, where property crimes often dominate. Seasonal factors may partly explain this mix, as November's dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping could have influenced behaviour. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, meaning Saundersfoot's rate is 34% lower, though the local surge in violent crime highlights a need for further analysis. The area's low property crime rate—particularly for theft from the person and vehicle crime—aligns with its built-up character, where limited retail presence and fewer public spaces may reduce opportunities for such offences. However, the increase in criminal damage and arson may reflect targeted acts during seasonal events without further data. The overall picture remains one of low crime, with the area's unique geography and population density likely contributing to its distinct profile compared to larger urban centres.

Violence and sexual offences saw the most dramatic month-on-month increase, rising 71.4% from 7 to 12 incidents. This surge in violent crime contrasts with the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, placing Saundersfoot 34% below the national rate for this category. Criminal damage and arson also rose sharply, doubling from 0 to 2 cases, while other theft increased from 0 to 1. These shifts suggest a possible seasonal influence, with Bonfire Night and dark evenings potentially contributing to the uptick in property-related incidents. The area's violent crime rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, despite the increase. Residents may find the breakdown of crime types useful for understanding local patterns, particularly the dominance of violent offences over property crimes in November.

Saundersfoot's crime rate in November 2025 rose 87.7% compared to the previous month, climbing from 1.1 to 2.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase, while significant, remains 71.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show no incidents recorded over the 30-day period, translating to an average of 0 crimes per day. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 467 residents, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. With a population of 7,002, the monthly exposure rate illustrates that most residents are not directly affected by crime, though the rise in violent offences may warrant closer attention to local factors. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with the increase, the area's crime profile remains exceptionally low relative to national benchmarks.
