The verdict
East Norriton Township earns a B safety grade: violent crime runs 68% below the U.S. average, placing it close to the national middle for violent crime.
Based on 16 reported violent incidents in a population of 14,019. 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.
Small-count caution
East Norriton Township reported 16 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 14,019. 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 East Norriton Township's 114.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Center Township (114.1), West Shore Regional (114.0), Hellertown (114.5), Tyrone (113.6). 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 114.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, East Norriton Township ranks 280 of 838 — above 558 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +74.7% against the cohort median of 65.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 97.7% of reported property offenses in East Norriton Township, against a cohort median of 85.8%. The remainder is burglary (4) and motor vehicle theft (3). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 5.1% of the 316 Part I offenses reported in East Norriton Township for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 121.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 114.1 in 2024 (-5.9%). The highest observed value was 136.1 in 2023 and the lowest 78.6 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate East Norriton 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.
Based on 16 reported violent incidents in a population of 14,019. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
