What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Eastern Adams Regional, PA

Offense mix

Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 44.4% of the 36 Part I offenses reported in Eastern Adams Regional for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 34.4 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.

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Eastern Adams Regional reported 16 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 7,966. 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

Eastern Adams Regional's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Pennsylvania cohort

The nearest comparable 2024 records to Eastern Adams Regional's 200.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Donora (200.9), Cheltenham Township (200.9), Cumberland Township, Greene County (200.8), Edwardsville (202.6). 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

Eastern Adams Regional reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Pennsylvania cities

At 200.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Eastern Adams Regional ranks 149 of 838 — above 689 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +207.5% 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.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 161.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 200.9 in 2024 (+24.3%). The highest observed value was 200.9 in 2024 and the lowest 88.7 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Property-offense composition

Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort

Larceny-theft is 95.0% of reported property offenses in Eastern Adams Regional, against a cohort median of 85.8%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Eastern Adams Regional's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row keeps violent and property totals in a closer balance. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; incomplete reporters 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 7,966. 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-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.

Eastern Adams Regional's 2024 municipal footprint

Eastern Adams Regional's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (53% of 36 offenses; mix index 4,537).
