Small-count caution
Brook Park reported 10 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 18,054. 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 Brook Park's 55.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Solon (54.8), Holland (56.0), Twinsburg (56.4), Mount Gilead (56.4). 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
At 55.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Brook Park ranks 264 of 340 — above 76 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -51.9% 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 59.6% of reported property offenses in Brook Park, against a cohort median of 84.0%. The remainder is burglary (11) and motor vehicle theft (31). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Brook 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.
Based on 10 reported violent incidents in a population of 18,054. 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.
