The Cost of Crime™ in 20707, MD

Property crime in 20707 is projected to cost $5,174,995 in 2025, about $117 per resident and $310 per household. That equals 0.2% of the median household income.

Criminal justice system costs (law enforcement, courts, and imprisonment): 64.7%
Direct costs to victims (damaged property, medical expenses, and lost wages): 29.8%
Lost economic contribution from offenders (time in prison or repeat offenses): 5.5%

How the Property Crime Cost Is Estimated

Property crime carries no pain-and-suffering figure in this model. Its cost is the replacement and repair value of what was taken or damaged, plus the policing, courts, and lost offender productivity that follow. Stolen and damaged property has a market price, which is why this total is easier to pin down than the human cost of violent crime in 20707, MD. All Cost of Crime figures come from scholarly research on the cost of crime. Read more about our methodology here.

Interpreting the Property Crime Maps

Property crime rates are measured per resident, so places where shoppers and commuters outnumber residents read high. Stores are where shoplifting, theft, and vehicle break-ins happen, yet almost nobody lives there, so the per-capita rate climbs. How strongly this shows on the map depends on retail density; the east part of the zip has more retail establishments. A red commercial strip does not mean the homes nearby are unsafe.

Parking lots and transit stops follow the same pattern: heavy daytime traffic, few residents, so per-capita property crime reads high. To judge a residential block, weigh both the per-capita rate and the total number of incidents, and note what sits nearby.
