A 25-mile circle around it holds 2 towns with a grade. Del Norte’s police reported to the FBI for 2024 and 2025 but not 2023, so there is no Safety Grade: the grade needs all three years, 2023–2025. The closest graded town is Monte Vista, 13 miles away, at D.
For every 1,000 residents, about 9 property crimes reported

No one died in a crash on Del Norte’s roads in 2019–2023
That is about what is typical for Colorado towns of 2,500–5,000 people: at their median rate (0.0 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Del Norte’s size would see about 0 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Del Norte’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 Del Norte. 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 Del Norte’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (1,398 in 2025); our figure for Del Norte is 1,396 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
