What’s behind Park City’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 higher than in most U.S. towns; violent crime is the closer of the two to typical. Its violent rate (3.3) is below the FBI’s national estimate (3.6) but higher than in most individual towns: the national figure is weighted by people, and the grade counts towns.

Eight people died in crashes on Park City’s roads in 2019–2023
Park City had 8 fatal crashes in five years, in which eight people died. Most of these deaths (4 of 8) were on an Interstate passing through, so they say more about through-traffic than about the town’s own streets.
That is more than is typical for Kansas towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (5.0 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Park City’s size would see about 2 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Park City’s own rate (20.9) 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 Park City. 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 Park City’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (9,296 in 2025); our figure for Park City is 9,458 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
