Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Bryant's 175.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Cherry Valley (177.0), Tuckerman (179.0), Maumelle (179.3), Lamar (169.7). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 7.8% of the 497 Part I offenses reported in Bryant for 2024, against a median of 21.1% across comparable Arkansas cities — a gap of 13.3 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 175.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Bryant ranks 154 of 204 — above 50 of the 203 other Arkansas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -43.1% against the cohort median of 308.1. 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 87.6% of reported property offenses in Bryant, against a cohort median of 74.4%. The remainder is burglary (34) and motor vehicle theft (23). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 181.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 175.2 in 2024 (-3.4%). The highest observed value was 181.4 in 2020 and the lowest 121.5 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Bryant'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.
