About Newtown crime rates

With a crime rate for both violent and property crime combined of 11 per 1,000 residents, the crime rate in Newtown is one of the lower rates in America among communities of all sizes (lower than 71% of America's communities). One's chance of becoming a victim of crime in Newtown is one in 92. Compared to communities within Connecticut, Newtown's crime rate is lower than nearly 90% of the state's cities and towns.

Additionally, NeighborhoodScout analyzed all cities and towns in America with a similar population size to Newtown, and we found that the crime rate in Newtown is one of the lowest in the nation for its size. This means Newtown is one of the safest places in America in which to live for its size, a very important finding.

The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.

Now let us turn to take a look at how Newtown does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Newtown.

For Newtown, NeighborhoodScout found that the violent crime rate is well below the national average for all communities of all population sizes. Violent crimes such as assault, rape, murder and armed robbery happen less often in Newtown than in most of America. One's chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime here is one in 1669, which is a violent crime rate of 1 per one thousand inhabitants.

NeighborhoodScout's analysis of property crime reveals that the property crime rate in Newtown is below average compared to all cities and towns in the nation. This means that you are less likely to become a victim of arson, motor vehicle theft, larceny, or burglary in Newtown than in most communities in America. Your chance of becoming a victim of property crime if you live here? Just one in 97.
