Addis, LA is close to the national middle for violent crime, and earns an A PlainCrime safety grade, where violent crime runs 60% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Addis, LA shows violent crime at 141.1 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 692.6 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 60% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 15.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 141.1 in 2024 (+832.0%). The highest observed value was 175.2 in 2021 and the lowest 15.1 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Addis reported 11 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 7,797. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Addis's 141.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Mandeville (130.2), Lake Arthur (156.4), Blanchard (119.7), Covington (171.8). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
At 141.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Addis ranks 57 of 66 — above 9 of the 65 other Louisiana cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -66.9% against the cohort median of 426.8. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 63.0% of reported property offenses in Addis, against a cohort median of 77.3%. The remainder is burglary (6) and motor vehicle theft (14). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Addis's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Based on 11 reported violent incidents in a population of 7,797. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
Across 4.2 Census sq mi, Addis logged 12.8 property and 2.6 violent offenses per square mile in 2024.
Addis leans on larceny-theft at 52% of reported offenses, with a moderate mix index of 3,444.
