That factor is the number of regestered sex offenders living in town. Not to mention those living here who are not in compliance by regestering with the authorities. A lot of parents are too frightened to let their kids out.
I don't know about Granite in particular, but nation wide most crimes, including child sexual abuse, has been on the decline since they started keeping data. You hear about it more because it's sensational and the new outlets make money on it, but what parents fear the most, is much LESS likely to happen now, than when you were a kid. You and your children are unfortunately much MORE likely to be molested by the TSA, who has a reputation for not checking their employees's reputations.
