Position in the state cohort
At 776.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Crossett ranks 30 of 204 — above 174 of the 203 other Arkansas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +153.6% against the cohort median of 306.2. 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 698.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 776.6 in 2024 (+11.1%). The highest observed value was 799.3 in 2021 and the lowest 663.3 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Crossett'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.
