A 25-mile circle around it holds 3 towns with a grade. Arizona City has no police department of its own: it’s an unincorporated community (a census-designated place) in Pinal County. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office reports to the FBI for the parts of the county without police of their own, so there are no figures for Arizona City alone, and no Safety Grade. Eloy, 4 miles away, is the nearest town with a Safety Grade (C).
What stands out about safety in Arizona City
Policed by the county
Arizona City is a census-designated place, with no town government. Crimes there are reported to the FBI inside the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office’s totals for the county. County police ↓
Counts, not rates
The FBI doesn’t publish how many people the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office covers, so its totals can’t be turned into a per-resident rate or a grade for Arizona City. County police ↓
The nearest graded towns
The closest Arizona State towns with their own police figures are Eloy (C, 4 mi), Casa Grande (C−, 12 mi), Coolidge (C+, 15 mi). Nearby towns can differ a lot from Arizona City. Nearest ↓

Four people died in crashes on Arizona City’s roads in 2019–2023
Arizona City had 4 fatal crashes in five years, in which four people died; 1 was a pedestrian and 2 were cyclists.
That is about what is typical for Arizona State towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (8.1 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Arizona City’s size would see about 4 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Arizona City’s own rate (8.4) is context, not a ranking.
Deaths are counted where the crash happened, not where the people lived: a highway through town adds through-traffic deaths, and residents’ own risk on roads elsewhere isn’t here. Town rates sit below state and U.S. rates because a third of fatal crashes happen outside any town. Road safety is described here and is not part of the Safety Grade.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many crimes are never reported to police.
- A county agency covers a wide area. Its totals mix many communities, so they say little about any one of them.
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
