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 Burbank Police Department's own reports.

What environmental sites and hazards are in Burbank?
EPA lists 2 active Superfund sites (final or proposed) in Burbank: San Fernando Valley (Area 1) and San Fernando Valley (Area 2). A listing means EPA is managing a long-term cleanup; it does not by itself mean anyone is exposed today.
The National Inventory of Dams lists 4 high-hazard dams in Burbank. None is rated Poor or Unsatisfactory; 4 are rated Satisfactory or Fair. Tallest on the list: Ler Sunset Debris Basin (86 ft) and Stough Debris Basin (46 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 Los Angeles County as “Very High”. The hazards rated highest here are wildfire (Very High), river flooding (Very High), earthquakes (Very High) and tornadoes (Relatively High). The index compares counties with each other and also weighs how vulnerable and resilient a community is, so it is a long-run estimate, not a forecast.
