What stands out about safety in Valencia

Read from the numbers below. The page puts what stands out first.

Who patrols here

Valencia is covered by the county

Valencia has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Valencia County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Valencia.

Valencia County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Valencia County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▼ Property crime down 44% since 2022▲ Violent crime up 10% since 2022

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.

Crime: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Crime Data Explorer: offenses known to law enforcement by city, and state and national rates. Counts are crimes reported to police, not convictions. The Safety Grade is our own summary of that data, not an official rating. Natural hazards: FEMA National Risk Index and flood insurance claims. Hospitals: CMS Hospital General Information. This isn’t an official statement of public safety. In an emergency, call 911.
