2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 485.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 312.2 in 2024 (-35.7%). The highest observed value was 485.5 in 2020 and the lowest 312.2 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 312.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Chickasha ranks 91 of 300 — above 209 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +47.0% against the cohort median of 212.4. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Chickasha'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.
