Tenby Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tenby's crime rate in April 2024 stood at 1.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 85.7% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the town's position as one of the safest areas in the UK, a status reinforced by its coastal location and seasonal rhythms. Anti-social behaviour dominated the crime profile, accounting for 88.9% of all reported incidents—a share that, while significantly higher than the UK average of 18%, remains relatively low in absolute terms. The dominance of anti-social behaviour may be linked to Tenby's role as a tourist destination, where transient populations and the Easter holiday period could contribute to increased reports of noise disturbances or public order issues. Vehicle crime.1 per 1,000, was 79% below the UK average, reflecting the low density of commercial activity and the limited parking infrastructure typical of a coastal resort. Seasonal factors also appear to play a role: April's spring weather and the Easter holiday likely drove increased outdoor activity, influencing both the types and frequencies of reported crimes. The overall low crime rate, combined with the absence of property crimes (only 1 incident), suggests a community environment where residents and visitors alike are generally secure in their daily lives. However, the 700% month-on-month increase in anti-social behaviour raises questions about what specific events or patterns might have contributed to this change, though can be established from the data alone.

April 2024 saw a dramatic 700% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 1 to 8 incidents. This surge, though still low compared to the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000, suggests a notable shift in local dynamics. Vehicle crime also doubled from 0 to 1 incident, a 100% increase. The dominance of anti-social behaviour—comprising 88.9% of all crimes—contrasts with the UK average, where it accounts for 18% of total offences. This discrepancy may reflect Tenby's unique characteristics as a tourist destination, where transient populations and seasonal events could influence reporting patterns. For residents, the low frequency of property crimes (only 1 incident) compared to the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000 offers reassurance about the safety of personal property in this area.

Tenby's crime rate in April 2024 rose sharply to 1.1 per 1,000 residents, marking an 816.7% increase from the previous month's rate of 0.1 per 1,000. This surge, though still exceptionally low by UK standards, highlights a significant shift in local patterns. Over the 30-day period, the area recorded just 9 total crimes, equating to roughly 0 crimes per day—a figure that underscores the rarity of criminal activity in this coastal town. When scaled to the population of 8,168, this translates to one reported crime occurring for every 908 residents over the course of the month. While such a low frequency suggests a generally secure environment, the jump from the prior month's near-zero rate raises questions about what might have triggered this change. The absence of daily crime statistics for the UK means local comparisons remain confined to Tenby's own historical trends, but the stark contrast between April and March offers a clear focal point for analysis.
