Marysville has a population density of 717.8 people per square mile, contrasting with the national average of 90.6 people per square mile.

This economic divide may contribute to an uptick in property crimes and, occasionally, violent crimes. In contrast, areas characterized by low population density typically exhibit lower Marysville crime rates.
