Yes, and the numbers are not close. Forty-one recorded crimes across the whole village in a year. The rate lands well below the county average, not marginally below it. So the safety question here answers itself, and the more interesting one is what happens if something does occur. That part is less comfortable.
The published police crime figures put Gorran Haven at about 31 crimes per thousand residents over the twelve months to May 2026, on 41 recorded offences. That rate is published rather than something you can rebuild from the population figures elsewhere on this page. Crime rates are calculated against their own statistical-area denominator, so anyone dividing 41 by the number of residents will get a different number and a wrong one.
For comparison, Cornwall as a whole recorded about 74 crimes per thousand over the same period. Gorran Haven's 31 sits roughly 58% below that. Two published figures, side by side, and the gap between them is not the sort that turns on how you round.
The texture around those numbers is what you would guess from the coast road. Population density averages about 517 people per square kilometre. Unemployment runs at about 2%, and about 1% of households are overcrowded. None of that causes the crime rate, and any account that claims it does is doing politics rather than statistics. It simply describes the kind of place these figures come from: thinly spread, few people out of work, and nobody short of a spare room.
What happens after a report is a separate matter, and it is not a measure of how safe the area is. Devon and Cornwall Police, the force covering this area, charged a suspect in about 8% of cases over the twelve months to May 2026, against about 12% nationally. That places the force 42nd out of the 42 reported. About 26% of cases closed with no suspect identified at all. Those are force-wide figures covering everywhere from Plymouth to the far west, and they carry no street-level signal for this village. Low crime tells you how likely something is to happen to you. The charge rate tells you how much to expect once it has, and the honest answer for this force is not much.
Safety is the least arguable thing about Gorran Haven, and the distance between its rate and the county's is too wide for any caveat to close. Whatever gives you second thoughts about moving here, it will not be this.
