What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County, PA

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 8,165. 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.

A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.

Based on 0 reported violent incidents in a population of 8,165.

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.
