Learn moreA real, severe, disclosed crime rate
NeighborhoodScout cites an overall crime rate of 27 per 1,000 residents -- described as one of the highest in America among communities of all sizes -- and higher than more than 99% of New Hampshire's own communities, with an annual victim-odds figure of 1 in 37 (base record).
No hospital within city limits, but real, nearby regional access
Wentworth-Douglass Hospital (Dover, 178 beds, Level III trauma, Mass General Brigham) and Frisbie Memorial Hospital (Rochester) both sit within minutes along what residents call their 'medical mile,' and Wentworth-Douglass separately operates a Somersworth primary care clinic (base record).

A real, material safety consideration this record does not minimize
Somersworth's crime data is a genuine, substantial outlier relative to New Hampshire's otherwise strong statewide safety picture -- prospective movers should weigh it directly rather than assuming New Hampshire's overall low-crime reputation applies uniformly.
