Severn's crime rate runs considerably higher than the national average across all US communities per this pass's sources, at 24 crimes per 1,000 residents -- though not among the communities with the very highest crime rate nationally.
Yet safer than Maryland's own state average
Considering only the crime rate itself, Severn runs safer than both the Maryland state average and the national average per a separate framing from the same research pass -- a real, disclosed tension this record states plainly rather than picking the more flattering framing.
Two framings, cited honestly
These findings are not necessarily contradictory -- Maryland communities broadly can run above the all-community national baseline while Severn still runs below Maryland's own average -- but this record discloses both framings precisely rather than smoothing them into one verdict.
