What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Bloomsburg Town, PA
Position in the state cohort
Bloomsburg Town reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Pennsylvania cities
At 324.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Bloomsburg Town ranks 82 of 838 — above 756 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +396.6% against the cohort median of 65.3. 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
Bloomsburg Town's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Pennsylvania cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Bloomsburg Town's 324.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Tinicum Township, Delaware County (329.0), Pottsville (329.3), Monongahela (330.2), Swissvale (317.5). 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 higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 233.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 324.4 in 2024 (+38.9%). The highest observed value was 324.4 in 2024 and the lowest 103.2 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 23.2% of the 185 Part I offenses reported in Bloomsburg Town for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 13.2 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.
Property counts dominate Bloomsburg Town'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.
