The verdict
Audubon Park earns an A safety grade: violent crime runs 80% below the U.S. average, placing it safer than most U.S. cities.
Based on 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,401. 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-count caution
Audubon Park reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,401. 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 Audubon Park's 71.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Erlanger (70.6), Pioneer Village (72.5), Lancaster (73.2), Greenville (69.1). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 4.3% of the 23 Part I offenses reported in Audubon Park for 2024, against a median of 8.1% across comparable Kentucky cities — a gap of 3.7 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Position in the state cohort
At 71.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Audubon Park ranks 111 of 231 — above 120 of the 230 other Kentucky cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +7.5% against the cohort median of 66.4. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Audubon Park'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.
