Reports of Domestic Violence
What does this measure?
The rate of reported domestic violence victims per 1,000 residents. Domestic violence includes assaults, sex offenses, and violations of orders of protection among any family members (not just spouses or intimate partners).
Why is this important?
Domestic violence has unique negative effects on victims and families. Domestic violence can cause serious and permanent emotional and psychological damage, which hurts one's quality of life and ability to contribute to society and perform at work.
How is the region doing?
In 2022, there were 2.8 reported victims of domestic violence per 1,000 residents in the MetroWest region, or just over 8,800 reported victims. The rate increased from 1.7 in 2000 to 3.7 in 2010 before declining in subsequent years. The region's 2022 rate was lower than Massachusetts' rate (4.6).
Among the region's counties, Worcester County had the highest rate (3.9), Norfolk (2.6) and Middlesex had the lowest rate at 2.2. Marlborough in Middlesex County had the highest rate (7.6), followed by Maynard in Middlesex (4.3) and Milford in Worcester (4.1). The lowest rates in the region were found in the Middlesex County town of Weston and Norfolk County town of Medfield (both at 0.5) followed by Bedford and Carlisle in Middlesex (both at 0.6).
Notes about the data
As a rule, domestic violence tends to be underreported, causing possible inconsistencies in the data and difficulty in making long-term comparisons. Rates reflect reported victims, not the number of individual incidents. For some local communities, domestic violence report data was either unavailable or incomplete. Comparable data for the nation and other areas were not available.
