Learn moreA Genuinely Favorable Cited Overall Rate
NeighborhoodScout cited Laramie's overall crime rate at 14 per 1,000 residents (1-in-70 overall victimization odds), with a violent crime rate of just 1 per 1,000 (cited as about average for all U.S. communities regardless of size) and a property crime rate of 13 per 1,000.
NeighborhoodScout's Own Nuanced, Size-Cohort-Dependent Framing
NeighborhoodScout's own framing was genuinely nuanced rather than one-directional: the source described Laramie's rate as running above the national average across ALL U.S. communities of every size, while ALSO noting that Laramie's rate ran 'near the average' when compared specifically against other communities of Laramie's OWN size. This record discloses this nuanced framing directly rather than flattening it to a single characterization.
Running Notably Below This Project's Own Recurring National Comparison Figure
Measured against this project's own recurring national comparison figure (33.37 per 1,000), Laramie's cited rate (14 per 1,000) runs approximately 58% below it -- a real, genuinely favorable figure this record discloses alongside NeighborhoodScout's own more cautious size-cohort framing above, rather than picking only the most flattering comparison.
Neighborhood-Level Variance Was Not Researched This Pass
This record did not independently research neighborhood-level crime variance within Laramie to comparable depth this pass -- movers should research current, address-specific crime data directly via the Laramie Police Department's own published statistics.
