Forest Park, OH Crime Analysis

Boulder, Colorado, a city of roughly 107,000 residents with a median household income near $104,000, reported 124 crimes in the most recent year, equating to a crime rate of about 116 per 100 k residents. The violent‑crime component—comprised of 78 assaults, one robbery, and two homicides—accounts for 81 offenses, yielding a violent‑crime rate of roughly 76 per 100 k. Property‑crime incidents total 39, giving a rate of about 37 per 100 k; the most frequent categories are larceny/theft (20), stolen property (9), and motor‑vehicle theft (2). Based on national safety benchmarks, Boulder carries a safety score of 75 out of 100, which translates into a “B” safety grade. Crime‑map data show that the southern and eastern portions of the city, particularly around ZIP codes 80302, 80304, and 80307, are the most active hot spots for assaults and thefts, while downtown corridors carry the bulk of violent‑crime incidents. Across the full ZIP‑code spectrum—80301 through 80315—property crimes are relatively evenly spread, but the concentration of assault and theft in the identified ZIPs suggests targeted policing and community outreach could further curb these trends. In short, Boulder’s overall safety remains solid, with the primary challenges being a steady rise in assault and a concentrated cluster of property‑crime activity in a handful of ZIP codes.
