Located in the southeastern region of Virginia, Yorktown is a quiet and picturesque town with a rich history dating back to the American Revolution. However, this idyllic town has not been immune to crime. According to the latest statistics, the violent crime rate in Yorktown stands at 9.3, which is significantly lower than the national average of 22.7. This is a testament to the efforts of the local law enforcement agencies and community members in maintaining a safe environment. However, the property crime rate in Yorktown is slightly higher than the national average at 23.1, though still relatively low compared to other areas in the country. As a resident of Yorktown, I am grateful for the efforts to keep our community safe, but I am also aware that there is always room for improvement.
