On crimes reported to the FBI by Crown Point’s police in 2023–2025, it grades A− for safety: #18 of 91 graded towns in Indiana.
Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of IN” is every other Indiana 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 Crown Point’s grade
Property crimes plus four times violent crimes reported to the FBI per resident, 2023–2025, on a national curve. Both violent and property crime are lower than in most U.S. towns; property crime is the stronger of the two.
Violent crime, by year and by type
Crown Point’s police reported 76 violent crimes to the FBI over 2023–2025, about 0.7 per 1,000 residents a year, against 4.3 in the rest of Indiana and the FBI’s national estimate of 3.6.

Offenses reported to police, not convictions. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting. The last row is counted outside the property total.
11 people died in crashes on Crown Point’s roads in 2019–2023
Crown Point had 10 fatal crashes in five years, in which 11 people died; 1 was a pedestrian. 4 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 6.4 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, below the median for Indiana towns of 25,000–100,000 people (8.1, 86 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 Crown Point. 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 Crown Point’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (35,378 in 2025); our figure for Crown Point is 35,616 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
