Small-count caution
Afton Village reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 781. 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.

That is -100.0% against the cohort median of 61.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Afton Village's 0.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Alexandria Bay Village (0.0), Altamont Village (0.0), Andover Village (0.0), Attica Village (0.0).

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Property counts dominate Afton Village'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 0 reported violent incidents in a population of 781. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
