The overall Safety Grade is B− (#18 of 55 graded towns in Arizona), which means close to the middle of U.S. towns, judged on crimes its police reported from 2023 to 2025. Add to that, each year brought 1.8 violent crimes and 11.1 incidents of property crime for every 1,000 residents (4.4 and 18.7 in the rest of Arizona). Its 3 neighbors with figures all record more crime per resident.
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. The FBI publishes no national homicide or robbery rate in our data, so those compare with all U.S. cities and towns in its tables.

What’s behind Litchfield Park’s grade
Property crimes plus four times violent crimes reported to the FBI per resident, 2023–2025, on a national curve. Property crime holds Litchfield Park’s grade up; violent crime pulls it down. Its violent rate (1.8) is below the FBI’s national estimate (3.6) but higher than in most individual towns: the national figure is weighted by people, and the grade counts towns.

No one died in a crash on Litchfield Park’s roads in 2019–2023
That is fewer than is typical for Arizona towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (8.1 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Litchfield Park’s size would see about 3 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Litchfield Park’s own rate (0.0) 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.
- One number for all of Litchfield Park. 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 Litchfield Park’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (6,855 in 2025); our figure for Litchfield Park is 6,727 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
