Small-count caution
Clearcreek Township reported 7 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 19,749. 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 35.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Clearcreek Township ranks 295 of 340 — above 45 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -69.2% against the cohort median of 115.2. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Clearcreek Township's 35.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Oak Harbor (35.8), South Bloomfield (35.0), Hudson (34.9), Mason (36.2). 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 24.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 35.4 in 2024 (+44.5%). The highest observed value was 52.2 in 2022 and the lowest 0.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 68.8% of reported property offenses in Clearcreek Township, against a cohort median of 84.0%. The remainder is burglary (9) and motor vehicle theft (16). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Clearcreek 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.
Based on 7 reported violent incidents in a population of 19,749. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
