Healthcare & Safety in Kingman
Kingman has a genuinely solid local hospital, but crime data sends a starkly mixed signal depending on the source -- disclosed here directly rather than resolved by picking the more favorable read.

Kingman Regional Medical Center holds a 4-star CMS Overall Hospital Quality rating -- placing it among the top 24.6% of hospitals nationally -- plus a Leapfrog 'A' Safety Grade and a 2025 Pulmonary Care Excellence Award for COPD/pneumonia outcomes. Healthgrades cites 62% of patients willing to recommend it (CMS Hospital Compare, Healthgrades, azkrmc.com, via WebSearch synthesis, retrieved 2026-08-24). This gives Kingman genuine, in-city hospital access rather than relying on a distant facility.
Crime data: two sources, two very different pictures
CrimeGrade's overall C+ grade (22.73 per 1,000, 54th percentile) reads as roughly average for a U.S. city, with violent crime (C-, 3.662/1,000) and property crime (C+, 12.80/1,000) both close to typical. NeighborhoodScout's separate methodology reads far more alarming: an overall rate of 37 per 1,000 residents, described as 'one of the highest crime rates in America,' and higher than more than 94% of Arizona communities of all sizes (CrimeGrade.org, NeighborhoodScout, via WebSearch synthesis, retrieved 2026-08-24). These two sources do not agree, and that disagreement is disclosed rather than resolved to one figure.
What to do with two conflicting reads
Given how sharply CrimeGrade and NeighborhoodScout diverge on Kingman specifically, confirm current, address-specific crime data directly with both sources -- or with local law enforcement -- before relocating, rather than relying on either single figure in isolation.
