Average score safety in Delaware, United States

Score safety description

A comprehensive score measuring the safety of the area, ranging from 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating a safer, more secure neighborhood.

This score helps residents and property seekers understand the overall safety profile of a specific location, considering various factors that contribute to community security.

  • 0-2: Very High Risk - Significant safety concerns
  • 3-4: High Risk - Frequent safety incidents
  • 5-6: Moderate Risk - Some safety challenges
  • 7-8: Low Risk - Generally safe environment
  • 9-10: Very Low Risk - Exceptionally safe neighborhood

In the United States the score is a rate of the offences known to each law enforcement agency (the FBI's Crime Data Explorer), a violent offence weighing eight times a property offence, per 1,000 residents a year, mapped onto 0 to 10 between two fixed rates. Every country outside Canada uses the same weighting and the same two rates.
