What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Caddo Valley, AR
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 314.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 1018.7 in 2024 (+224.4%). The highest observed value was 1587.3 in 2021 and the lowest 314.0 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Caddo Valley reported 6 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 589. 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.
Position in the state cohort
Caddo Valley reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Arkansas cities
At 1018.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Caddo Valley ranks 16 of 204 — above 188 of the 203 other Arkansas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +232.7% against the cohort median of 306.2. 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
Caddo Valley's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Arkansas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Caddo Valley's 1018.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Wynne (1022.9), De Valls Bluff (1008.1), Star City (966.2), Bald Knob (956.6). 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 84.2% of reported property offenses in Caddo Valley, against a cohort median of 74.4%. The remainder is burglary (2) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Caddo Valley'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 6 reported violent incidents in a population of 589. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
