What is recorded in Monfort Heights, and why there is no grade
Drive 10 miles in any direction and you reach 18 towns with grades of their own. For a graded neighbor, the nearest is Cheviot (C), 2 miles away. Monfort Heights has no police department of its own: it’s an unincorporated community (a census-designated place) in Hamilton County. The Hamilton 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 Monfort Heights alone, and no Safety Grade.

Four people died in crashes on Monfort Heights’s roads in 2019–2023
Monfort Heights had 4 fatal crashes in five years, in which four people died; 2 were pedestrians.
That is about what is typical for Ohio towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (6.9 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Monfort Heights’s size would see about 4 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Monfort Heights’s own rate (6.4) 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.
