Learn moreA real, disclosed elevated crime rate
Auburn's overall indexed crime rate runs 142.75% above the national average, with this pass's data recording 421 violent crimes (500 per 100,000 residents) and 4,334 property crimes (5,142 per 100,000 residents). This record discloses this honestly rather than smoothing it over in service of a purely positive affordability narrative.
Property crime, not violent crime alone, drives the elevated figure
The property crime count (4,334) substantially outweighs the violent crime count (421) in this pass's data -- a real, disclosed pattern consistent with several other markets in this broader dataset.
Healthcare access via the broader King County system
No major hospital sits within Auburn's own city limits -- a real, disclosed gap -- though residents draw on the broader King County and south Puget Sound healthcare network, including MultiCare Auburn Medical Center, a real, current local hospital facility.
