Peasedown, Bath and North East Somerset: Safety
Safety
Peasedown's crime rate has dropped steadily over the past two years and now sits well below the UK average, making it one of the quieter neighbourhoods in the South West.
In 2024, the neighbourhood recorded 51.9 crimes per 1,000 residents. By 2025 that had fallen to 47.5, and so far in 2026 it's tracking at around 26.8 — compared to a UK average of 39.6 for the same period. That's a real improvement.
Anti-social behaviour and violent crime are both lower than UK and South West averages. Burglary and vehicle crime stay low. The overall trend is clearly moving in the right direction, and Peasedown compares well to many similar-sized communities across the region.
