The closest graded town is Gate City, 2 miles away, at B−. Weber City’s police reported to the FBI for 2023 and 2024 but not 2025, so there is no Safety Grade: the grade needs all three years, 2023–2025. Out to 25 miles, the count of graded towns reaches 6.
For every 1,000 residents, about 15 property crimes reported

The nearest Virginia towns with a Safety Grade
Straight-line distance from the center of Weber City. Nearby towns can differ a lot from Weber City.
Each town’s own police figures, per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
One person died in crashes on Weber City’s roads in 2019–2023
Weber City had 1 fatal crash in five years, in which one person died; 1 was a pedestrian.
That is about what is typical for Virginia towns of 2,500–5,000 people: at their median rate (4.8 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Weber City’s size would see about 0 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Weber City’s own rate (13.3) 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.
- One number for all of Weber 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 Weber City’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (1,234 in 2024); our figure for Weber City is 1,221 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
