Crime Rate In Denmark, SC Summary

Crime in Denmark research summary. HomeSnacks has been using Saturday Night Science to report crime data in Denmark over the past eight years using the FBI crime explorer. Based on the most recently available data released October 17, 2023, we found the following about crime in Denmark:

  • There were 102 total crimes committed in Denmark the last reporting year.
  • On a rate basis, there were 3,582.7 total crimes per 100K people in Denmark.
  • The overall crime rate in Denmark is 54.15% above the national average.
  • Denmark ranks #88 safest out of 168 cities in South Carolina.
  • Denmark ranks #8,670 safest out of 9,869 cities in the United States.

Because the crime rate is so low in America, we use "per 100,000 people" to make the number a bit easier to compare across locations visually. It's mathematically the same as doing per capita comparisons and isn't conveying that there are 100,000+ people in a location.
