What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Cherry Hill Township, NJ
Comparable rate records
Cherry Hill Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New Jersey cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Cherry Hill Township's 173.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Edison Township (175.1), Keansburg (176.8), Haddon Township (177.0), Burlington Township (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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 117.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 173.9 in 2024 (+47.4%). The highest observed value was 173.9 in 2024 and the lowest 82.4 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Cherry Hill Township reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable New Jersey cities
At 173.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Cherry Hill Township ranks 84 of 417 — above 333 of the 416 other New Jersey cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +155.1% against the cohort median of 68.1. 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 dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 90.4% of reported property offenses in Cherry Hill Township, against a cohort median of 82.0%. The remainder is burglary (112) and motor vehicle theft (149). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Cherry Hill 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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
