Yes, and by a wider margin than most of Cornwall manages. The recorded crime rate here sits well under the county's. The volume across a whole year runs to fewer offences than a city centre logs in a weekend. The town is small, spread out and largely made up of people who have lived in it a long time. If you came looking for a caveat, the one worth having is about what happens afterwards rather than what happens.
Police.uk recorded about 46 crimes per thousand residents in the year to May 2026, from 84 offences in total across the twelve months. That is roughly 39% below the Cornwall average. Both are published figures calculated on their own statistical-area populations, so the rate is not something to sanity-check by dividing one number by another, and the brief carries no breakdown by offence type, which means anyone telling you what sort of crime it mostly is has made that up.
The comparison is worth seeing in full rather than as a percentage. Cornwall as a whole records about 74 crimes per thousand residents. Marazion records about 46. Two numbers, same measure, and the gap between them is the answer to the question.
The texture behind those numbers is unremarkable in the best sense. Population density averages around 1,125 people per square kilometre, which is town-shaped rather than village-shaped but nowhere near urban. Unemployment sits at about 2%. Overcrowded households make up roughly 2% of the total. None of that causes anything on its own, and the relationship between neighbourhood conditions and crime is more complicated than any single figure admits, but it does describe an area with very little pressure in it.
The honest caveat is about outcomes rather than incidents, and it is a force-wide matter rather than a Marazion one. Devon and Cornwall Police charged a suspect in about 8% of cases over the twelve months to May 2026, against roughly 12% nationally, which places the force last of the 42 in England and Wales on that measure. In about 26% of cases, the investigation closed with no suspect identified at all. That answers a different question from the crime rate, and the two should not be blended: the first tells you how likely something is to happen to you, the second tells you what the system will do about it if it does. Low crime and thin charge rates can coexist perfectly comfortably, and here they do.
Safety is the clearest thing Marazion has going for it: whatever else a buyer weighs up about this town, the odds of something happening to them or their car are among the best figures on the page, and the realistic worry is that a report goes nowhere rather than that there is much to report.
