A real, substantially below-national crime rate

Woodbury's overall crime rate ran 16.86 per 1,000 residents, well below the national rate of 33.37 -- roughly 49% lower, with violent crime running especially low at 1.06 per 1,000.

An honest, disclosed Minnesota-specific nuance

Relative to Minnesota specifically, Woodbury's crime rate runs higher than approximately 80% of the state's own cities and towns -- reflecting Minnesota's generally low statewide crime profile, not elevated risk in Woodbury itself.
