What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Edina, MN
Comparable rate records
Edina's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Minnesota cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Edina's 73.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Eden Prairie (73.2), St. Peter (72.8), New York Mills (73.7), Belgrade/Brooten (72.5). 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
Edina sits mid-pack among comparable Minnesota cities
At 73.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Edina ranks 172 of 276 — above 104 of the 275 other Minnesota cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -26.0% against the cohort median of 98.8. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 4.7% of the 834 Part I offenses reported in Edina for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Minnesota cities — a gap of 6.0 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
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 73.0% of reported property offenses in Edina, against a cohort median of 85.7%. The remainder is burglary (126) and motor vehicle theft (89). 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 80.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 73.1 in 2024 (-9.2%). The highest observed value was 95.9 in 2022 and the lowest 64.2 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Edina'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
