A real, disclosed comparison to Provo

Orem's crime rate (29.98 per 1,000 residents) runs notably higher than neighboring Provo's, per the source reviewed this pass -- a real, disclosed nuance worth stating plainly rather than assuming the two twin cities share an identical safety profile.

Crime concentrates geographically -- neighborhood matters

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

A real, disclosed data-confidence caveat

This record sources its Orem crime figure from a single citation reviewed this pass rather than independently cross-verifying against a primary Orem Police Department or FBI Uniform Crime Report dataset -- disclosed as a real, modest confidence caveat.
