Per resident, the graded rate barely moved from 2023 to 2025. Overall, it grades B for safety (#109 of 266 graded towns in Michigan). For every 1,000 residents, 1.9 violent crimes and 7.3 incidents of property crime were logged a year; in the rest of Michigan, the figures are 5.4 and 17.5.
Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of MI” is every other Michigan 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 Grand Blanc’s grade
Property crimes plus four times violent crimes reported to the FBI per resident, 2023–2025, on a national curve. Property crime holds Grand Blanc’s grade up; violent crime pulls it down. Its violent rate (1.9) 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.

Two people died in crashes on Grand Blanc’s roads in 2019–2023
Grand Blanc had 2 fatal crashes in five years, in which two people died; 1 was a pedestrian and 1 was a cyclist.
That is about what is typical for Michigan towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (6.8 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Grand Blanc’s size would see about 3 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Grand Blanc’s own rate (5.0) 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 Grand Blanc. 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 Grand Blanc’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (7,886 in 2025); our figure for Grand Blanc is 7,880 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
