I saw another answer about the crime rate in Los Angeles.  I was then
wondering about the crime rate in Orange County and specifically Yorba
Linda.

Dear barrytrot,

The best data currently available can be found in the FBI's "Crime in
the United States 2004" report which was published in 2005. Detailed
statistics for 2005 are not available yet, so this is the most current
date available.

The table "Offenses Known to Law Enforcement by City 10,000 and over
in Population, 2004" provides the following data about crime in Yorba
Linda:

Population ------------------------------- 63,077
Violent crime ---------------------------- 54
Murder and non-negligent man-slaughter --- 1
Forcible rape ---------------------------- 9
Robbery ---------------------------------- 11
Aggravated assault ----------------------- 33
Property crime --------------------------- 802
Burglary --------------------------------- 193
Larceny-theft ---------------------------- 543
Motor vehicle theft ---------------------- 66
Arson ------------------------------------ 12

Yorba Linda has the 13th-lowest crime rate in California and the
297th-lowest crime rate nationwide.

Hope this answers your question!
Regards,
Scriptor

I was hoping for an interactive web site, but this does answer my question.  Thanks!
