In general, both violent and property crimes are fairly low around the Centennial State, with Safewise reporting a 2021 violent crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents and a property crime rate of 25.9 per 1,000 residents.

According to Safewise, package theft is the biggest fear that Coloradans have, and for a good reason, as 24% of residents have had a package stolen in the last year.
