St. Michaels, MD is a picturesque waterfront town known for its charming shops and historic homes. However, beneath the idyllic facade lies a concerning trend of crime. According to recent statistics, the violent crime rate in St. Michaels is 27.5, higher than the national average of 22.7. This means that residents and visitors to this quaint town are at a greater risk of experiencing acts of violence. Additionally, the property crime rate in St. Michaels is 46.8, significantly surpassing the US average of 35.4. This includes theft, burglary, and other property-related offenses. As a concerned citizen, I am troubled by these statistics and hope that measures will be taken to decrease the crime rates in St. Michaels. With such a strong community and beautiful surroundings, it is a shame that crime is a prevalent issue in this town.
