St. Albans, VT crime: up or down?

Newest FBI monthly report: Oct 2026

Oct 2026 looks incomplete so far (reports are still coming in), so this compares Jul–Sep 2026.

Far lower than past years, possibly missing reports

These months run 61% below the same months in past years. A drop that size is usually reports not sent yet or a new records system counting differently, so Crime Radar won't call it a real drop until more months come in.

Is St. Albans 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 St. Albans has more or fewer reported crimes than it usually does, and that its yearly rate is 59.2 per 1,000 residents against 13.9 across Vermont. For one block, open it on the map.

How this works

St. Albans 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).
