What is recorded in Shiloh, and why there is no grade
Shiloh has no police department of its own: it’s an unincorporated community (a census-designated place) in Montgomery County. The Montgomery 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 Shiloh alone, and no Safety Grade. The closest graded town is Dayton, 3 miles away, at D−. 11 towns with a Safety Grade lie within 10 miles.

11 people died in crashes on Shiloh’s roads in 2019–2023
Shiloh had 11 fatal crashes in five years, in which 11 people died; 5 were pedestrians and 1 was a cyclist.
That is 20.9 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Ohio towns of 5,000–25,000 people (6.9, 458 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.
- 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.
