Comparable rate records
Beaverton's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Oregon cohort

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
Beaverton reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Oregon cities
At 364.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Beaverton ranks 14 of 88 — above 74 of the 87 other Oregon cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +65.5% against the cohort median of 220.4. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 246.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 364.8 in 2024 (+47.8%). The highest observed value was 364.8 in 2024 and the lowest 246.8 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Beaverton'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
