According to the most recent data from the FBI, the total crime rate in La Plata is 3,805.8 per 100,000 people. That's 53.67% higher than the national rate of 2,476.7 per 100,000 people and 58.29% higher than the Maryland total crime rate of 2,404.3 per 100,000 people.
Note: Because the rates of crime are so low in America, we use "per 100,000 people" to make the number a bit easier to compare across locations visually. It's mathematically the same as doing per capita comparisons and isn't conveying that there are 100,000+ people in a location.
