A favorable national comparison

Cedar City's overall crime rate ran a real, favorable 15.47 per 1,000 residents against a national average baseline of approximately 33.37 -- genuinely below the national average.

A real, disclosed within-Utah nuance

Relative to Utah's OWN cities and towns of all sizes, Cedar City's crime rate runs higher than 70% of them -- a real, disclosed nuance this record states plainly rather than presenting only the more favorable national comparison, the identical pattern documented for Nampa, Idaho relative to Idaho's own baseline elsewhere in this project.

Crime concentrates geographically -- neighborhood matters

As with most cities in this dataset, Cedar City's crime is not spread evenly. Confirm a specific address directly rather than relying on a citywide figure alone.
