Is Apple Valley safe to walk?
This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them. The records for Apple Valley are also incomplete: only 64% of its reported pedestrian crashes have a map location, so the numbers here are too low. What the records show: 64 pedestrian crashes were reported in Apple Valley from 2021–2026, 32 of them serious or fatal (21 fatal).
