The verdict
Campbell earns an A safety grade: violent crime runs 81% below the U.S. average, placing it safer than most U.S. cities.
Based on 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,501. 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.
Small-count caution
Campbell reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,501. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 223.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 66.6 in 2024 (-70.2%). The highest observed value was 260.6 in 2022 and the lowest 66.6 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Campbell's 66.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Des Peres (66.2), Bourbon (65.9), Oak Grove (65.5), Garden City (64.0). 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 45.5% of reported property offenses in Campbell, against a cohort median of 78.6%. The remainder is burglary (3) and motor vehicle theft (3). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
At 66.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Campbell ranks 208 of 272 — above 64 of the 271 other Missouri cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -64.9% against the cohort median of 190.0. 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 are 8.3% of the 12 Part I offenses reported in Campbell for 2024, against a median of 13.6% across comparable Missouri cities — a gap of 5.3 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 counts dominate Campbell'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 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,501. 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.
