Given that Petersburg crime stats are not covered by the FBI crime reports, either data from local enforcement agencies is applied or estimates are calculated based on demographic data including, but not limited to: home prices, income per capita, poverty rates, unemployment rates, educational achievement and population density. The Petersburg crime estimates should be used at your own risk. Please be aware that the data displayed above is estimated and not officially reported by any agency.
