The quality of housing and neighborhood conditions can influence crime rates. Neglected or run-down neighborhoods with poorly maintained properties may be more susceptible to criminal activities.

Certain individuals and families may find themselves residing in cramped or inadequate housing settings, amplifying stress levels and potentially fostering domestic conflicts and associated criminal incidents. It's worth noting that the median home price in Kingman stands at $75,300, a contrast to the national average of $184,700.

High rental costs can limit economic mobility, making it difficult for individuals to save money, invest in education, or access better job opportunities.
