Most crime never reaches the police, so these are reported crimes, a floor rather than the full count. In 2024 about half of violent crimes (48%) and about 3 in 10 property crimes (31%) were reported to police (U.S. Justice Department, National Crime Victimization Survey). Rates also depend on how completely each agency reports to the FBI. City figures are the Peoria Police Department's own reports.

What environmental sites and hazards are in Peoria?
The National Inventory of Dams lists 4 high-hazard dams in Peoria. None is rated Poor or Unsatisfactory; 1 is rated Satisfactory or Fair. Tallest on the list: New Waddell Dam (440 ft) and New River Dam (105 ft). “High hazard” describes what lies downstream (people would probably die if the dam failed), not how likely the dam is to fail.
FEMA's National Risk Index rates the overall natural-hazard risk for Maricopa County as “Very High”. Of the seven hazards on our map, FEMA rates these highest: river flooding (Very High), heat waves (Very High) and wildfire (Relatively High).
