Among the 419 city police departments serving 2,500–10,000 residents in the 4 states loaded so far: violent crime 1.7 per 1,000 residents a year (65% of them report less), property crime 12.5 per 1,000 (81% report less).
The FBI warns against ranking places with these numbers: visitors, commuters, and how each department records and reports crime all differ. Treat this as context, not a grade.
Is Hillview safe?
Crime Radar doesn't grade towns as safe or unsafe: one number can't say what a street is like, and the FBI warns against ranking places. What these reports can say is whether Hillview has more or fewer reported crimes than it usually does, and that its yearly rate is 14.2 per 1,000 residents against 13.8 across Kentucky. For one block, open it on the map.
How this works
Hillview Police Department sends monthly counts of violent and property crime to the FBI. Crime Radar compares the newest complete three months with the same months in past years, and only calls a change when it's bigger than this department's usual ups and downs. Months with missing reports are left out, so a reporting gap never looks like a safe stretch. These are totals for everywhere the department patrols, not one street.
Not every crime reaches these numbers: in the national victim survey, about 6 in 10 serious violent crimes and 3 in 10 property crimes were reported to police in 2024 (BJS).
