Position in the state cohort
Country Club Hills reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Illinois cities
At 329.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Country Club Hills ranks 76 of 506 — above 430 of the 505 other Illinois cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +230.5% 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 255.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 329.4 in 2024 (+29.0%). The highest observed value was 528.2 in 2023 and the lowest 130.4 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 60.4% of reported property offenses in Country Club Hills, against a cohort median of 70.3%. The remainder is burglary (104) and motor vehicle theft (55). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Country Club Hills'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.
