What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Austintown, OH
Comparable rate records
Austintown's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Ohio cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Austintown's 101.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Bazetta Township (102.2), Medina (100.7), Bedford Heights (102.6), Streetsboro (100.2). 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 184.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 101.4 in 2024 (-45.0%). The highest observed value was 184.5 in 2020 and the lowest 73.4 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 6.8% of the 527 Part I offenses reported in Austintown for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 3.8 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
Austintown sits mid-pack among comparable Ohio cities
At 101.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Austintown ranks 192 of 340 — above 148 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -11.9% against the cohort median of 115.2. 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 Austintown'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
