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 Nashua Police Department's own reports.

What environmental sites and hazards are in Nashua?
EPA lists 2 active Superfund sites (final or proposed) in Nashua: Sylvester and Mohawk Tannery. A listing means EPA is managing a long-term cleanup; it does not by itself mean anyone is exposed today.

The two tallest are Supply Pond Dam (28 ft) and Bowers Dam (25 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 Hillsborough County as “Relatively Moderate”. None of the seven hazards on our map (floods, wildfire, tornadoes, heat, earthquakes, hurricanes) is rated above “Relatively Moderate” here.
