Ogden's overall crime rate ran 24 per 1,000 residents (City-Data index of 234 for 2025) -- above commonly cited national baselines, a less favorable static comparison than several peer Utah suburbs built in this same batch.
A real, disclosed, and meaningfully improving trend
The current trend is genuinely favorable and worth stating plainly rather than omitting: overall crime fell 33.4% year-over-year, with violent crime down 9.1% and property crime down a sharp 37.7%.
Crime concentrates geographically -- neighborhood matters
As with most cities in this dataset, Ogden's crime is not spread evenly. Confirm a specific address directly rather than relying on a citywide figure alone.
