Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Chubbuck's 265.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are American Falls (267.7), Parma (276.8), St. Maries (278.8), Kellogg (280.6). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 9.0% of the 490 Part I offenses reported in Chubbuck for 2024, against a median of 22.5% across comparable Idaho cities — a gap of 13.5 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 265.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Chubbuck ranks 20 of 55 — above 35 of the 54 other Idaho cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +37.7% against the cohort median of 192.6. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 310.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 265.1 in 2024 (-14.7%). The highest observed value was 334.0 in 2021 and the lowest 265.1 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 87.7% of reported property offenses in Chubbuck, against a cohort median of 75.8%. The remainder is burglary (41) and motor vehicle theft (14). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Chubbuck'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.
