Beaverton's crime rate ran 30 per 1,000 residents as of March 2026 -- one of the higher rates among all US communities compared in that NeighborhoodScout data set, with 1-in-34 overall victimization odds (1-in-278, or 4 per 1,000, for violent crime; 1-in-38, or 26 per 1,000, for property crime).
A real, disclosed 20-year improving trend
Twenty-year data tracking shows both violent and property crime declining from their historical peaks, and 2025 local police data suggests that downward trajectory continued from 2019 levels -- a real, disclosed positive counter-signal this record states alongside the elevated 2026 baseline rather than in place of it.
Crime concentrates geographically -- neighborhood matters
As with most cities in this dataset, Beaverton's crime is not spread evenly. Confirm a specific address directly rather than relying on a citywide figure alone.
