Southwest Journal identified the top ten most dangerous areas in Utah in 2024 based on crime statistics. They examined FBI data on property crimes and significant crimes in areas with populations above 5,000. Not only are these regions unsafe, but they also lack sufficient employment, funds, and services to assist people.
Some Utah residents are unaware of their financial wealth. According to the survey, South Salt Lake is the most hazardous area due to the high number of thefts, gunfire, and robberies. The threat is not in a sports movie but in the news at 6 p.m.
1. West Valley
West Valley is Utah’s sixth most hazardous area. There are five times as many serious offenses against women as against males. West Valley isn’t as awful as it used to be, but it was horrible before. Sierra Newbold, who was six years old, died here in 2012.

2. Murray
The fourth-most hazardous location in Utah is south of Salt Lake City. Because it is the third most crime-prone area, you are more likely to have your belongings stolen or damaged. Murray has an 8/10 Livability Index, however, it is dangerous to live there due to the frequency of sexual assaults.
3. Roosevelt
Many individuals have perished there. These types of crimes occur more frequently in the region. Trump was saddened when Loretta Jones died in 1970.

Fires and break-ins make Utah the seventh most dangerous state. This community in central Utah is home to 36,527 residents. People rate it as an 8/10 place to live, yet there is a lot of crime where I reside.
7. Park City
This is where the Sundance Film Festival takes place. It is Utah’s ninth most hazardous location, therefore break-ins are more likely to occur. Since Uta von Schwedler died in 2011, Park City’s art culture has deteriorated.

It’s not pleasant to live there, and automobiles are often smashed into and stolen. People are still terrified, even though Ogden has less crime and property damage than South Salt Lake.
