Direct Legal Support, Inc. was interested in trying to discover the litigation rate of Kern County as the population continues to grow in the county. Unfortunately, the statistics to measure the number of lawsuits across several years are not readily available.
While researching, Direct Legal Support, Inc. stumbled upon the criminal statistics of Bakersfield area and this in some ways allows us to gain insight into the litigation rate.
Crime rates in Bakersfield, CA outpace statewide and nationwide rates in several areas. The below chart shows the crime rates of Bakersfield, California, and the United States for the following:
Only the forcible rape rate is lower in Bakersfield. All other violent crime rates as well as the property crime rates are higher in the major city of Kern County. From this, we discern that Bakersfield probably has a higher than normal litigation rate and need for court services, which is interesting to legal support provider like ourselves.
Rates are per 100,000 and based upon the end of the year population estimates of the US Census.
