The crime rate in Arlington is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 33 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Arlington is 1 in 30. Based on FBI crime data, Arlington is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Virginia, Arlington has a crime rate that is higher than 70% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.
However, NeighborhoodScout analyzed all cities and towns in America with a similar population size to Arlington, and we found that the crime rate in Arlington is one of the lowest in the nation for its size. This means Arlington 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 Arlington 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 Arlington.
From our analysis, we discovered that violent crime in Arlington occurs at a rate higher than in most communities of all population sizes in America. The chance that a person will become a victim of a violent crime in Arlington – such as armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder – is 1 in 233. This equates to a rate of 4 per one thousand inhabitants.
Moreover, the rate of property crime in Arlington – burglary, larceny ($50 or more), grand theft auto, and arson – is 29 per 1,000 residents. This is about average for all cities and towns in America of all population sizes.
