Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Durant's 268.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Hugo (269.2), Holdenville (270.4), Lone Grove (266.6), Cushing (273.3). 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 210.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 268.6 in 2024 (+27.6%). The highest observed value was 302.9 in 2022 and the lowest 210.4 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 8.0% of the 704 Part I offenses reported in Durant for 2024, against a median of 15.0% across comparable Oklahoma cities — a gap of 7.0 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 81.9% of reported property offenses in Durant, against a cohort median of 66.1%. The remainder is burglary (83) and motor vehicle theft (34). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
At 268.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Durant ranks 120 of 300 — above 180 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +26.4% against the cohort median of 212.4. 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 Durant'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.
