NeighborhoodScout separately cites an overall crime rate of 11.63 per 1,000 (vs. a national average of 33.37), with violent crime at 0.81 and property crime at 10.82 -- a real, disclosed spread in the exact figures against the SafeWise citation, though both sources agree directionally that West Linn runs substantially safer than typical.
