The nearest California towns with a Safety Grade
Straight-line distance from the center of Rancho Cucamonga. Nearby towns can differ a lot from Rancho Cucamonga.
Each town’s own police figures, per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
68 people died in crashes on Rancho Cucamonga’s roads in 2019–2023
Rancho Cucamonga had 66 fatal crashes in five years, in which 68 people died; 13 were pedestrians and 8 were cyclists. 12 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 7.8 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, about the same as the median for California towns of 100,000+ people (7.7, 76 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 Rancho Cucamonga. A citywide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of the city to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Rancho Cucamonga’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (177,179 in 2025); our figure for Rancho Cucamonga is 177,856 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
