NeighborhoodScout cites an overall crime rate of 10 per 1,000 residents -- near the national average for all US cities and towns of all sizes -- with a 1-in-449 chance of being a victim of violent crime and 1-in-129 for property crime. Blythewood's crime rate is lower than approximately 64% of South Carolina communities.
Healthcare access runs through the broader Columbia-metro system
Blythewood itself does not have a major hospital campus; residents draw on the broader Columbia-metro healthcare system (Prisma Health and other regional providers) via I-77 access -- a real, practical consideration distinct from markets with an in-town hospital.
