Graffiti is the most common type of property vandalism (35%) according to the Bureau of Justice Services. Municipalities across this Nation spend more than $7 billion annually to clean up, repair, and to replace property marred by graffiti, and millions more is spent by individual homeowners and businesses forced to take care of the vandalism to personal property.
Figures from a variety of cities across the U.S. suggest that graffiti cleanup alone cost taxpayers between $3 and $5 per person per year. For smaller communities this figure may be $1 per person or less.
A 2002 survey of communities conducted by Public Technology, Inc. found that "Los Angeles County spends about $55 million per year on graffiti removal. Phoenix and Minneapolis each spend about $4 million. The City of San Jose spends $3 million. Portland spends $2 million all the way down to Madison, Wisconsin who spends $250,000 annually".
Successful graffiti programs nationwide cite rapid and complete removal (within 48 hours) as the most effective factor in graffiti prevention. It is the broken window effect; graffiti not removed promptly and completely sends a strong message about a community not caring about the problem.
