Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of AZ” is every other Arizona city and town in the FBI’s tables; the U.S. figure is the FBI’s national estimate as published, averaged over the three years.

12 people died in crashes on Camp Verde’s roads in 2019–2023
Camp Verde had 11 fatal crashes in five years, in which 12 people died. 4 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 19.2 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Arizona towns of 5,000–25,000 people (8.1, 56 towns).
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.
- One number for all of Camp Verde. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Camp Verde’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (12,684 in 2025); our figure for Camp Verde is 12,581 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
