What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Creve Coeur, MO
Comparable rate records
Creve Coeur's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Missouri cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Creve Coeur's 163.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Lincoln (163.9), Lone Jack (164.7), Moscow Mills (165.3), Indian Point (167.2). 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 133.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 163.6 in 2024 (+22.5%). The highest observed value was 163.6 in 2024 and the lowest 65.1 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 8.7% of the 345 Part I offenses reported in Creve Coeur for 2024, against a median of 13.6% across comparable Missouri cities — a gap of 4.9 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.
Position in the state cohort
Creve Coeur sits mid-pack among comparable Missouri cities
At 163.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Creve Coeur ranks 155 of 272 — above 117 of the 271 other Missouri cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -13.9% against the cohort median of 190.0. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Creve Coeur'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.
