The Yuba City, CA SpotCrime Map

By
Yuba City is located in Sutter County of Northern California and currently It has a population of approx. 61, 200.  In March 2010, the city had one of the highest unemployment rates in the country at 20.8%.  Being a fairly small town, retail and healthcare make up most of the economy.  SpotCrime has been mapping Yuba City, CA for almost a year now!



Some may relate a high unemployment rate to a high crime rate.  However, according to FBI crime statistics, in 2009 the crime rate was the lowest its been in years.  Check out the graph below showing the crime rate compared to unemployment for the entire US (to view a larger graph, click here)  When the FBI releases the full 2010 crime stats for the US, we will be able to see if 2010 proved the same as 2009.
"The unemployment rate is the highest it's been in 20 years. One might assume that as more and more people fell out of work, the crime rate would rise. But as the unemployment continued to rise last year, crime dropped to its lowest level in years. This is a look at U.S. crime rates and unemployment rates since 1989. SOURCES: Bureau of Labor Statistics; FBI A collaboration between GOOD and Part & Parcel."
