Understanding local burglary trends helps homeowners make informed decisions about their home security. While Utah is considered safer than many states, burglaries still occur every day—often targeting homes with weak locks or poor door hardware.

• Utah burglary rate: Approximately 147 burglaries per 100,000 residents (recent statewide data).
• Daily average: Roughly 5–6 burglaries per day across the state.
• National comparison: Utah’s burglary rate is significantly lower than the national average.
• Most common entry points: Front doors, back doors, and sliding glass doors.
• Primary vulnerabilities: Worn locks, misaligned strikes, and non-deadlocking latch hardware.

The good news is that many burglaries are preventable. Properly installed deadbolts, deadlatches, reinforced strike plates, and correctly aligned door hardware can significantly reduce the risk of forced entry.
