Learn moreA solid, well-rated local hospital
Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center holds a 4-star CMS Overall Hospital Quality rating -- matching Kingman Regional Medical Center's rating and well above Bullhead City's Western Arizona Regional Medical Center (2-star) in this same build. Healthgrades cites 66% of patients willing to recommend it, while U.S. News cites a notably higher 85% recommendation rate -- a real, disclosed gap between the two patient-satisfaction sources. The hospital is rated High Performing in Pneumonia by U.S. News (CMS Hospital Compare, Healthgrades, U.S. News Health, via WebSearch synthesis, retrieved 2026-08-24).
Crime data reads consistently favorably across both major sources
CrimeGrade assigns Show Low a B- overall grade (21.73 per 1,000, 57th percentile -- safer than 57% of U.S. cities), with violent crime at 3.660 per 1,000. NeighborhoodScout cites favorable odds: a 1-in-121 chance of violent crime victimization and 1-in-49 for property crime (CrimeGrade.org, NeighborhoodScout, via WebSearch synthesis, retrieved 2026-08-24). Unlike Kingman's split reading or Bullhead City's consistently elevated reading in this same build, both sources here point the same direction -- a real, consistent, above-average-safety signal.
A genuine positive differentiator within this build
Show Low's combination of a 4-star-rated hospital and consistently favorable crime data across two independently-methodologied sources is a real, meaningful advantage for anyone comparing all three Arizona Tier-B markets in this build side by side.
