What is recorded in Santa Ana Pueblo, and why there is no grade
Out to 25 miles, the count of graded towns reaches 5. Santa Ana Pueblo has no police department of its own: it’s an unincorporated community (a census-designated place) in Sandoval County. The Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office reports to the FBI for the parts of the county without police of their own, so there are no figures for Santa Ana Pueblo alone, and no Safety Grade. For a graded neighbor, the nearest is Bernalillo (C−), 4 miles away.

Five people died in crashes on Santa Ana Pueblo’s roads in 2019–2023
Santa Ana Pueblo had 4 fatal crashes in five years, in which five people died. Most of these deaths (3 of 5) 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 New Mexico towns of 2,500–5,000 people: at their median rate (7.8 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Santa Ana Pueblo’s size would see about 0 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Santa Ana Pueblo’s own rate (97.5) 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.
- A county agency covers a wide area. Its totals mix many communities, so they say little about any one of them.
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
