Number of Violent Crimes per 10,000 people in 2018 in UT, AZ, CO, NM

Subject

This map shows the number of violent crimes per 10,000 people in 2018 in the 4 corner states by county subdivision. There are 10 categories.

Description

This map shows higher violent crime in most urban areas, and seemingly random higher rates in rural areas. It somewhat corresponds with the property crime distribution but varies in certain areas. It only includes county subdivisions that had 2018 crime data available. Most reservations and areas with very low or spread-out populations did not include data. In general, Utah and CO seem to have lower violent crime rates than AZ or NM.
