Abrazo West Campus, located directly in Goodyear, is an ACS-Verified and state-designated Level 1 Trauma Center receiving approximately 55,000 emergency patients annually, offering cardiovascular, orthopedic, obstetric, neurological, stroke, and robotic-assisted surgical services (Abrazo Health, Wikipedia, retrieved 2026-08-24). Bed count is cited inconsistently across sources -- one cites 188 beds, another (Wikipedia) cites 179 -- both disclosed rather than reconciled. The hospital also serves neighboring Avondale, which has no major hospital of its own directly within city limits.
Crime data reads in genuine tension between sources
NeighborhoodScout cites an overall crime rate of 16 per 1,000 residents -- 'considerably higher than the national average, though not among the very highest' -- with a crime rate higher than 73% of Arizona's cities and towns of all sizes (i.e., worse than most of the state by this measure). A separate local-news source instead describes an A-minus overall crime grade 'outperforming neighboring hubs like Avondale and Phoenix,' a 13% year-over-year crime-rate drop between 2023 and 2024, and an annual cost-of-crime-per-resident of $186 -- 31% below the Arizona state average (Your Valley/Litchfield Park-Goodyear Independent, retrieved 2026-08-24). These two characterizations read in real tension with each other, and neither is resolved to a single verdict here.
Key takeaways
- Abrazo West Campus, a Level 1 Trauma Center located directly in Goodyear, handles roughly 55,000 ER patients annually; bed count is disputed across sources (179 vs. 188).
- NeighborhoodScout cites a crime rate higher than 73% of Arizona cities; a separate local-news source cites an A-minus grade and a 13% YoY decline -- a real, disclosed tension between sources rather than one resolved verdict.
- Confirm current, address-specific crime data directly before relocating, given how differently the two sources frame Goodyear's safety.
