Pembroke: St Michael, Pembrokeshire: Safety
Safety
St Michael in Pembroke is one of the safest neighbourhoods around. In 2025, it recorded just 23 crimes per 1,000 people — significantly lower than the Wales average of 46.5 and the UK average of 88.6.
That difference really stands out. Neighbouring neighbourhoods saw rates between 40 and 148 crimes per 1,000 people during the same period, making St Michael noticeably quieter.
Early figures for 2026 show the rate dropping further to around 11.5 per 1,000, though this covers only part of the year. Anti-social behaviour is low, and there's no recorded burglary in recent data. By any measure, this is a consistently low-crime neighbourhood.
