Crown Point, IN carries a PlainCrime A safety grade with violent crime 78% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Crown Point, IN shows violent crime at 76.7 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 531.5 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 78% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Crown Point reported 27 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 35,185. 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Crown Point's 76.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Winona Lake (78.2), New Castle (75.1), Butler (74.2), Dayton (73.2). 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 76.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Crown Point ranks 79 of 113 — above 34 of the 112 other Indiana cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -52.3% against the cohort median of 161.0. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2021–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 60.9 per 100,000 in 2021 to 76.7 in 2024 (+26.1%). The highest observed value was 76.7 in 2024 and the lowest 31.7 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Crown Point'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 27 reported violent incidents in a population of 35,185. 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.
