How risky is that? Your chance of becoming a victim in Yantis is one in 140 based on the total crime rate (violent and property crimes, combined). In America overall, your chance of becoming a victim of crime is 1 in 43.

However, when you compare Yantis to other communities of similar population, then Yantis crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Yantis does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.

Now let us turn to take a look at how Yantis does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Yantis.

Importantly, our analysis shows that Yantis has one of the lowest violent crime rates in all of America, across cities and towns of all sizes. Murder, rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault happen far less frequently here than in most places. Your chance of becoming a victim? Just one in 10000. Yantis's violent crime rate is just 0 per 1,000 residents.
