Henning’s police department covers under 1,000 people in the FBI’s count, so the page shows its counts, not rates, and there is no Safety Grade. A 25-mile circle around it holds 8 towns with a grade. Inside a 10-mile circle, only Rossville carries a grade.
0 crimes reported in 2025
In a town this small, a few incidents move the numbers a lot, so we show counts rather than rates.

The nearest Illinois towns with a Safety Grade
Straight-line distance from the center of Henning. Nearby towns can differ a lot from Henning.
Each town’s own police figures, per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
No one died in a crash on Henning’s roads in 2019–2023
That is about what is typical for Illinois towns of 2,500–5,000 people: at their median rate (7.1 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Henning’s size would see about 0 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Henning’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 Henning. 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 Henning’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (199 in 2025); our figure for Henning is 202 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
