Comparable rate records
Davison Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Michigan cohort

Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 88.3% of reported property offenses in Davison Township, against a cohort median of 79.7%. The remainder is burglary (7) and motor vehicle theft (14). 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 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 208.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 186.7 in 2024 (-10.4%). The highest observed value was 270.5 in 2021 and the lowest 186.7 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Davison Township sits mid-pack among comparable Michigan cities
At 186.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Davison Township ranks 185 of 366 — above 181 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -0.9% against the cohort median of 188.3. 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 Davison Township'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.
