Safety in Belgium · Not graded

No grade for Belgium, but its recorded crime is here

Belgium reports no crime figures of its own to the FBI for 2023–2025, so there is no Safety Grade. Inside a 10-mile circle sit 2 graded neighbors. For a graded neighbor, the nearest is Port Washington (A), 6 miles away.

On the roads

Three people died in crashes on Belgium’s roads in 2019–2023

Belgium had 2 fatal crashes in five years, in which three people died; 1 was a cyclist. Most of these deaths (2 of 3) were on an Interstate passing through, so they say more about through-traffic than about the town’s own streets.

That is about what is typical for Wisconsin towns of 2,500–5,000 people: at their median rate (6.8 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Belgium’s size would see about 1 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Belgium’s own rate (39.0) 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.
