Clovis’ police reported to the FBI for 2023 and 2025 but not 2024, so there is no Safety Grade: the grade needs all three years, 2023–2025.
For every 1,000 residents, about 16 property crimes reported
And about 4 violent crimes, in 2025. Below are 1,000 dots, one per resident; each colored dot is one reported crime.

19 people died in crashes on Clovis’s roads in 2019–2023
Clovis had 18 fatal crashes in five years, in which 19 people died; 6 were pedestrians.
That is 10.0 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, about the same as the median for New Mexico towns of 25,000–100,000 people (9.8, 8 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 Clovis. 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 Clovis’ residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (37,320 in 2025); our figure for Clovis is 37,127 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
