An Overview of Crime Rates in Haskell, AR

Crime is typically categorized into two main types: violent and property crimes. Violent crimes encompass offenses such as murder, rape, robbery, and assault, while property crimes include burglary, theft, and vehicle theft. Based on the most recent report, the Haskell crime rate is lower than the national average by 40.7%. Specifically, there were 11 violent crimes in Haskell, equivalent to 271 per 100,000 individuals, lower than the national average by 26.8%. Furthermore, Haskell recorded 45 property crimes, amounting to 1108 per 100,000 residents, which was lower than the average by 43.3%.

In a remarkable testament to the city's commitment to safety, Haskell reported a murder rate of 0. This could indicate that it is a very safe place to live, but also serves as an inspiration to other urban areas striving for safer communities. Examining the full crime report will provide a complete overview of all crimes - violent and property.

Is Haskell a Safe Place to Live?

To get a feel for the safety of living in Haskell, it's essential to analyze both the overall crime rate and the daily incident count. Haskell presents a total crime rate that is 41% lower than the national average per 100,000 residents. Consequently, Haskell experiences an average of 0.15 daily crimes, comprising 0.03 violent incidents and 0.12 property-related offenses. This evaluation offers a comprehensive understanding of the safety landscape, aiding individuals in making informed decisions when considering relocation.

Has Crime in Haskell Increased Since Last Year?

Examining year-over-year crime data provides insights into short-term trends with regards to the crime activity in Haskell. This analysis involves comparing crime rates from one year to the next, enabling the identification of patterns and fluctuations in crime. Such information proves invaluable to residents seeking to make well-informed decisions about their choice of residence. In the most recent year, compared to the previous one, total crime in Haskell has decreased by 11.1%. Specifically, violent crime has decreased by 8.3%, while property crime has decreased by 11.8%. This data empowers individuals with a clearer understanding of the evolving safety landscape in Haskell.

Potential Causes for Crime in Haskell

The educational level achieved in any given city can influence crime rates significantly. Greater educational achievement is frequently associated with decreased crime rates, as it offers individuals improved job prospects and alternatives to engaging in crime related activities. Conversely, lower educational attainment rates tend to coincide with elevated crime rates. In Haskell, 85.2% of residents have successfully graduated from high school, in contrast to the national average where 83% have achieved high school graduation.

High cost of living can lead to economic stress for individuals and families, particularly those with limited financial resources. When people struggle to make ends meet due to high housing costs, healthcare expenses, or other basic necessities, they may be more inclined to engage in criminal activities, such as theft or fraud, as a means of financial survival. On the flipside, cities that have a lower cost of living, could see a reduced crime rate. In Haskell, the cost of living is 8.66% lower than the national average.

High rental costs can limit economic mobility, making it difficult for individuals to save money, invest in education, or access better job opportunities. This can perpetuate a cycle of poverty and increase the risk of involvement in criminal activities. In summary, high rental costs can create economic challenges, overcrowding, and neighborhood dynamics that may increase the likelihood of certain types of crime, particularly property crimes. In Haskell, the average rental rates are $1,084 per month, compared to the national average of $949.

Haskell crime map



The Haskell crime map provides a detailed overview of all crimes in Haskell as reported by the local law enforcement agencies. Based on the color coded legend above, the crime map outlines the areas with lower crime compared to the areas with higher crime. The Haskell crime heat map offers insight into the total crimes on a block group level. Please note that the red areas on the Haskell crime map does not always indicate that it is a dangerous area for its residents. Areas on the heat map could be inflated if they are located in high traffic areas like airports, sports centers or large parks. Other areas on the heat map could see increased crime rates if they are located in major tourist areas like the downtown core.
