2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Position in the state cohort
Clarkstown Town sits mid-pack among comparable New York cities
At 94.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Clarkstown Town ranks 120 of 326 — above 206 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +57.1% against the cohort median of 60.4. 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 94.7% of reported property offenses in Clarkstown Town, against a cohort median of 86.3%. The remainder is burglary (47) and motor vehicle theft (31). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Clarkstown Town'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.
