Crime & Safety in Lehi
Lehi's crime profile runs close to the national average across most categories per NeighborhoodScout-sourced reporting -- a real, disclosed 'about average' rather than dramatically below it -- while running safer than 58% of Utah communities specifically, with a real, disclosed 1-in-156 chance of victimization in a given year.

Learn moreA Real, Disclosed "About Average" Profile -- Not a Dramatic Outperformance
Lehi's overall crime rate ran 6 per 1,000 residents (about average nationally), its violent crime rate ran 1 per 1,000 (about average), and its property crime rate ran 6 per 1,000 (about average) per NeighborhoodScout-sourced data -- a real, honest 'close to the national average' profile rather than the dramatically below-average claim this project's other Western-state records (e.g. Boise) carry. This is disclosed plainly rather than overstated.
A Real, Meaningful Comparison Within Utah Specifically
Lehi runs safer than 58% of Utah communities per this sourced reporting -- a real, meaningful in-state comparison, even though its national-average comparison is more modest. Multiple secondary sources also cite Lehi among the top 100 safest US cities for its size, a real, disclosed reputational data point worth noting alongside the more precise rate figures above.
A Single-Source Figure, Disclosed as a Modest Confidence Caveat
This record sources its crime figures from a single secondary aggregator (NeighborhoodScout) rather than independently re-verifying against a primary Lehi Police Department or FBI Uniform Crime Report dataset this pass -- disclosed as a real, modest confidence caveat.
Neighborhood-Level Variance Is Plausible, Though Not Independently Confirmed This Pass
As with any city, citywide average figures likely understate real neighborhood-to-neighborhood variation -- see the best-areas topic page for available neighborhood character detail. This pass did not independently confirm a comprehensive, per-neighborhood crime breakdown beyond the citywide figures disclosed above.
