Crime & Safety in Essex Junction
Essex Junction's real, current crime picture is genuinely mixed and cross-source-varied, and this record discloses this directly rather than picking whichever citation is most favorable -- citations ranged from a modestly elevated aggregator figure to a separate citation describing Essex Junction as 'one of the safest towns in Vermont.'

Learn moreA Real, Disclosed Cross-Source Spread on the Overall Rate
One aggregator-style citation put the overall crime rate at approximately 12.13 per 1,000 residents. A third, distinctly more favorable citation put the overall rate at approximately 1.9 per 1,000, describing Essex Junction as 'one of the safest towns in Vermont.' This record discloses both directly rather than resolving the tension.
A Real, Disclosed Split Between Violent and Property Crime
A separate, distinct citation broke the picture into violent crime (approximately 12.3 per 1,000, running BELOW a cited national comparison figure of 22.7) and property crime (approximately 39.1 per 1,000, running modestly ABOVE a cited national comparison figure of 35.4 on that same citation's methodology) -- a real, genuine, disclosed internal split this record does not smooth over.
Neighborhood-Level Variance Was Not Researched This Pass
