What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Bridgeport Township, MI
Comparable rate records
Bridgeport Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Michigan cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Bridgeport Township's 457.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Dearborn Heights (458.9), St. Charles (463.2), Westland (449.1), Southgate (446.0). 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.
Position in the state cohort
Bridgeport Township reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Michigan cities
At 457.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Bridgeport Township ranks 63 of 366 — above 303 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +144.6% against the cohort median of 187.0. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 31.0% of the 145 Part I offenses reported in Bridgeport Township for 2024, against a median of 16.7% across comparable Michigan cities — a gap of 14.3 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-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 68.0% of reported property offenses in Bridgeport Township, against a cohort median of 79.7%. The remainder is burglary (10) and motor vehicle theft (22). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 421.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 457.3 in 2024 (+8.6%). The highest observed value was 677.9 in 2023 and the lowest 401.0 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Bridgeport Township'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.
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.
Bridgeport Township's 2024 municipal footprint
