Crime runs genuinely elevated -- disclosed honestly

NeighborhoodScout cites a 1-in-40 chance of becoming a victim of violent or property crime combined in Pasco as of January 2026, with an overall crime rate higher than 81% of Washington's own cities and towns.

Property crime, not violent crime, drives the elevated figure

Pasco's property crime rate (22 per 1,000) runs meaningfully higher than its violent crime rate (3 per 1,000, a 1-in-291 chance) -- a real, disclosed split rather than one flattened label.

A real, disclosed forward-looking note

The same source separately notes that Pasco's crime rate trend for 2026 is expected to run lower than in 2018 -- a real, disclosed, if modest, positive trend alongside the currently elevated figures.
