A real, disclosed crime profile

NeighborhoodScout cites Washington's combined victimization odds at 1-in-72 -- a crime rate higher than 71% of Utah's own cities and towns of all sizes, though near the average for similarly-sized U.S. communities specifically. The underlying data reflects the 2023 calendar year, the most recent available as of this pass.

Healthcare access via the broader St. George metro

No major hospital sits within Washington's own city limits -- residents draw on St. George's Intermountain Health regional flagship facility, documented in this project's St. George record, a real, practical short drive rather than a local anchor.

No specific neighborhood is named as unsafe

Per this dataset's site policy, no specific neighborhood within Washington is called out as higher- or lower-crime here -- confirm current, address-specific data directly with NeighborhoodScout or local law enforcement before relocating.
