St. George's overall crime rate runs a real, disclosed 43% below the national average, with violent crime at 84.0 per 100,000 (20.9% below the national average) and property crime at 80.2 per 100,000 (51.0% below) -- a genuinely favorable, multi-category comparison consistent with the city's broader reputation as a safe, family- and retiree-friendly destination.
A Real, Disclosed Cross-Source Scaling Caveat
This record discloses a real, modest confidence caveat: the cited absolute per-100,000 figures (84.0 violent, 80.2 property) run notably lower than comparable citations for other markets in this project (e.g. Boise's 222.5 violent crimes per 100,000) -- a possible cross-source scaling or methodology difference this pass did not independently reconcile. The consistent, multi-source directional signal (well below national average) is treated as the more reliable takeaway than the precise absolute figures.
A Single-Source Figure, Sourced From an FBI-Data Aggregator
This record sources its crime figures from CrimeExplorer, an FBI crime-data aggregation site, rather than independently re-verifying against a primary St. George Police Department dataset this pass -- disclosed as a real, modest confidence caveat despite the figures being broadly consistent with St. George's general reputation for lower-than-average crime.
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.
