Over the last 12 months, 551 crimes were reported in Sun Valley — about 475.8 per 1,000 residents per year, above the citywide rate of 77.2; with fewer than 5,000 residents, the per-resident rate swings widely and also counts incidents involving people who don't live here. Counts include only offenses that carry a location in the public data, so they understate violent crime. There are also 246 traffic crashes in the same window.

Search Sun ValleyCrimes cover the Sun Valley neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. Traffic crashes are counted within roughly a half-mile of the center. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but a lower rate (with fewer than 5,000 residents, the per-resident rate swings widely and also counts incidents involving people who don't live here); crash counts are compared to the average Denver neighborhood. Source: City and County of Denver open data. The Denver Police Department’s public crime data publishes no location for domestic-violence offenses or sex offenses, so they never appear on the map or in these counts: about a third of aggravated assaults and every sexual assault are missing, so located counts understate violent crime near any address, and simple-assault and harassment totals are incomplete. Incidents handled by campus police (University of Denver, Auraria Campus) may not appear. Denver’s crash records count only serious injuries and fatalities; minor injuries are not published, and about 5% of crash records have no location. About 1 in 8 crash records (a third of hit-and-runs) carry no injury counts at all and are not included in the serious-injury figure, so it is a minimum. Open data updates on a delay, so the most recent records may be incomplete. For general information only — not legal, financial, or real-estate advice.
