For a graded neighbor, the nearest is Valley (A), 11 miles away. Fremont’s police reported to the FBI for 2024 and 2025 but not 2023, so there is no Safety Grade: the grade needs all three years, 2023–2025. A 25-mile circle around it holds 3 towns with a grade.
For every 1,000 residents, about 15 property crimes reported

The nearest Nebraska towns with a Safety Grade
Straight-line distance from the center of Fremont. Nearby towns can differ a lot from Fremont.
Each town’s own police figures, per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
Four people died in crashes on Fremont’s roads in 2019–2023
Fremont had 4 fatal crashes in five years, in which four people died; 1 was a pedestrian.
That is about what is typical for Nebraska towns of 25,000–100,000 people: at their median rate (4.0 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Fremont’s size would see about 6 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Fremont’s own rate (2.9) 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 Fremont. 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 Fremont’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (28,464 in 2025); our figure for Fremont is 28,350 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
