Safety in Notus: figures, but no grade

The grade needs a town’s own FBI figures, and Notus has none for 2023–2025. Of the graded towns, Caldwell is the closest, at C.

On the roads

No one died in a crash on Notus’s roads in 2019–2023

That is about what is typical for Idaho towns of 2,500–5,000 people: at their median rate (0.0 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Notus’s size would see about 0 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Notus’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.

How to read these numbers

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.

Crime: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Crime Data Explorer: offenses known to law enforcement by city, and state and national rates. Counts are crimes reported to police, not convictions. The Safety Grade is our own summary of that data, not an official rating. Road deaths: NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), 2019–2023. This isn’t an official statement of public safety. In an emergency, call 911.
