Crime & Safety in Casper
Casper's real, current crime picture is genuinely mixed and carries a real, disclosed, THREE-WAY cross-source spread this record discloses directly rather than picking whichever framing is more convenient -- one citation frames Casper's rate above the national average, a second frames it below, and a third comparison using this project's own recurring national figure again puts Casper below.

Learn moreA Real, Disclosed Cross-Source Spread on the Overall Rate
One FBI-data-style citation put Casper's total crime rate at 2,400.6 per 100,000 residents, described by that same citation as 13.28% ABOVE a cited national rate of 2,119.2 per 100,000 (with an overall safety grade of C+ and a ranking of #29 safest of 31 Wyoming cities). A separate, distinct citation described Casper's overall crime rate as approximately 12% BELOW the national average -- a real, disclosed, unreconciled tension against the first citation.
A Third Layer: This Project's Own National Comparison Figure Points a Third Direction
When this record converts the first citation's 2,400.6-per-100,000 figure into this project's own recurring ~33.37-per-1,000 national comparison figure's units, Casper's rate (approximately 24.0 per 1,000) actually runs BELOW that specific national comparison figure -- a third, genuinely unreconciled layer this record discloses rather than silently resolves.
Violent and Property Crime Figures, As Cited
The same FBI-data-style citation put Casper's violent crime rate at 288.8 per 100,000 (a 1-in-307 victimization chance) and property crime at 29.0 per 1,000 reported crimes (a 1-in-63 chance) -- this record discloses the property-crime figure's different unit scale exactly as cited rather than silently converting it.
Neighborhood-Level Variance Was Not Researched This Pass
This record did not independently research neighborhood-level crime variance within Casper to comparable depth this pass -- movers should research current, address-specific crime data directly via the Casper Police Department's own published statistics rather than relying on any single citywide framing in isolation.
Key takeaways
- Crime-rate citations reviewed this pass carried a real, disclosed, THREE-way unreconciled spread -- above the national average by one citation, below by a second, and below again by a third comparison using this project's own recurring figure.
- One citation gave Casper a C+ overall safety grade and a ranking of #29 safest of 31 Wyoming cities.
- Violent crime victimization odds were cited at 1-in-307, and property crime at 1-in-63, per the same primary citation.
- This record did not research neighborhood-level crime variance in comparable depth this pass -- confirm current, address-specific data directly.
