NeighborhoodScout cites an overall crime rate of 23 per 1,000 residents -- "considerably higher than the national average" by its own framing -- with a violent crime rate of 3 per 1,000 (a 1-in-321 victimization odds) and a property crime rate of 20 per 1,000, stating Loveland's crime rate is higher than 78% of Colorado's own cities and towns.
CrimeGrade's read: an overall A grade, the highest possible rating
CrimeGrade's 2026 analysis instead assigns Loveland an overall A grade -- the highest possible rating -- describing it as one of the safer mid-sized Front Range cities, with every one of the neighborhoods it separately analyzed also receiving a Grade A (a 100% "safe" tier rate among its studied neighborhoods).
A genuine, sharp disagreement -- disclosed rather than resolved
These two sources point in genuinely different directions -- more sharply than the disagreement documented for Longmont elsewhere in this dataset. Both are disclosed here rather than resolved into one verdict; check a specific address directly with both sources before drawing a conclusion. No specific lower-rated area is named here per site policy.
