[size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt]About Vancouver crime rates[/size][/size][/size]

The crime rate in Vancouver is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 42 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Vancouver is 1 in 24. Based on FBI crime data, Vancouver is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Washington, Vancouver has a crime rate that is higher than 76% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.

How does the crime rate in Vancouver compare to similar sized communities across America? When NeighborhoodScout compared Vancouver with other communities its size, we found that the crime rate was near the average for all other communities of similar size. So, whether Vancouver's crime rate is high or low compared to all places in the US, when we control for population size and compare it to places that are similar in size, it is near the middle of the pack in crime rate; not much more or less dangerous, and about what we would expect from the statistics.

The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.

Now let us turn to take a look at how Vancouver does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Vancouver.

From our analysis, we discovered that violent crime in Vancouver occurs at a rate higher than in most communities of all population sizes in America. The chance that a person will become a victim of a violent crime in Vancouver; such as armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder; is 1 in 270. This equates to a rate of 4 per one thousand inhabitants.

NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that Vancouver's rate for property crime is 39 per one thousand population. This makes Vancouver a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in Vancouver is one in 26.

Importantly, we found that Vancouver has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle theft in the nation according to our analysis of FBI crime data. This is compared to communities of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest. In fact, your chance of getting your car stolen if you live in Vancouver is one in 135.
