Comparable rate records

Position in the state cohort
Collinsville sits mid-pack among comparable Illinois cities
At 194.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Collinsville ranks 149 of 506 — above 357 of the 505 other Illinois cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +95.6% against the cohort median of 99.7. 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
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 58.6% of reported property offenses in Collinsville, against a cohort median of 70.3%. The remainder is burglary (130) and motor vehicle theft (42). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 226.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 194.9 in 2024 (-14.0%). The highest observed value was 235.3 in 2023 and the lowest 194.9 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Collinsville'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
