Junction City has no FBI crime figures of its own for 2023–2025, so there is nothing to grade it on.
For every 1,000 residents, about 15 property crimes reported
And about 2 violent crimes, in 2022. Below are 1,000 dots, one per resident; each colored dot is one reported crime.
Violent crime per 1,000 residents, 2022
Property crime per 1,000 residents, 2022
Crimes reported to police in 2022 per resident; one person can be the victim of more than one, and some reports involve visitors.
The years Junction City’s police reported
Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents, against the rest of Oregon. A year the department didn’t report in full is a gap, not a zero.

One person died in crashes on Junction City’s roads in 2019–2023
Junction City had 1 fatal crash in five years, in which one person died; 1 was a pedestrian.
That is about what is typical for Oregon towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (3.5 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Junction City’s size would see about 1 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Junction City’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.

Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
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 Junction City. 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 Junction City’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (7,442 in 2022); our figure for Junction City is 7,224 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
