Safety in Westlake · Not graded

Westlake has no Safety Grade

For a graded neighbor, the nearest is Trophy Club (A), 2 miles away. The FBI holds no crime figures for Westlake alone for 2023–2025, so it can’t be graded. Drive 10 miles in any direction and you reach 12 towns with grades of their own.

On the roads

Five people died in crashes on Westlake’s roads in 2019–2023

Westlake had 5 fatal crashes in five years, in which five people died; 2 were pedestrians.

That is more than is typical for Texas towns of 2,500–5,000 people: at their median rate (5.8 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Westlake’s size would see about 0 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Westlake’s own rate (59.9) 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.

How to read these numbers

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.
