Steady crime rates and hot summers with fire risks
According to the Anderson Police Department’s Annual 2022 Report, the latest available, Anderson's violent and property crime rates increased from 2021 to 2022. Both rates are holding steady at 2022 levels. Howe says Anderson’s summers are hot. “Since we’re surrounded by mountains, heat gets trapped in our bowl – sort of speak – so we can get over 100-degree days for three weeks straight.” Fires pose a threat to the community, especially around the outskirts of town, and fire insurance is hard to obtain here. The area sees a few snowstorms during the winter, but it typically melts quickly.
