The towns next door have their own figures
Fairfax and San Rafael report to the FBI directly. Their grades range from B+ in Fairfax to D in San Rafael, so they’re a rough guide at best. Neighbors ↓
Plan for inland flooding, too
FEMA rates expected storm and flood damage in Sleepy Hollow higher than in 88% of U.S. communities, with inland flooding and earthquakes the main risks. There have been 64 paid flood insurance claims since 1980. Be ready ↓
Written from the FBI data on this page. County and state agency figures cover their whole patrol area, not just this town, so they can’t be turned into a rate.
Sleepy Hollow is covered by the county
Sleepy Hollow has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Marin County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Sleepy Hollow.
Crimes reported in the parts of Marin County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)
Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)
These are counts, not rates. The FBI doesn’t publish how many people each agency covers, so we can’t turn them into a per-resident figure or a Safety Grade. Source: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, offenses known to law enforcement by county and by state agency.
