How to read these numbers
Las Vegas crime statistics carry an asterisk most cities do not: tens of millions of annual visitors inflate raw counts without showing up in the resident population that rates are divided by. Read carefully, the valley's property crime sits somewhat above average and violent crime is concentrated in the resort and central corridors, while the outer suburbs post numbers that would feel at home in any quiet metro.
We convert the valley's crime indices into estimated rates per 100,000 residents using national benchmark rates, then restate them as plain odds such as an annual “1 in N” chance. Indices are scaled so 100 equals the national average, and letter grades sort each area onto an A-to-F curve calibrated across U.S. cities so comparisons stay consistent.
