Offenses reported to police, not convictions. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting. The last row is counted outside the property total.
11 people died in crashes on Caledonia’s roads in 2019–2023
Caledonia had 10 fatal crashes in five years, in which 11 people died; 1 was a pedestrian.
That is 8.7 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Wisconsin towns of 25,000–100,000 people (3.7, 32 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.
- One number for all of Caledonia. 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 Caledonia’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (25,216 in 2025); our figure for Caledonia is 25,229 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
