Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Coitsville Township reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,242. 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 322.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Coitsville Township ranks 42 of 340 — above 298 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +184.8% against the cohort median of 113.1. 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 Coitsville Township's 322.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Weathersfield (324.8), Sharonville (318.6), Cheviot (317.5), Massillon (316.3). 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 229.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 322.1 in 2024 (+40.5%). The highest observed value was 322.1 in 2024 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 72.7% of reported property offenses in Coitsville Township, against a cohort median of 84.0%. The remainder is burglary (6) and motor vehicle theft (0). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 15.4% of the 26 Part I offenses reported in Coitsville Township for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 4.8 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.
Property counts dominate Coitsville 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 4 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,242. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
Coitsville Township's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (62% of 26 offenses; mix index 4,467).
