2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 77.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 119.7 in 2024 (+54.6%). The highest observed value was 195.8 in 2023 and the lowest 77.4 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Elk Grove Village's 119.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Berwyn (119.4), Stockton (118.8), Des Plaines (120.6), Harwood Heights (117.6). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 6.6% of the 561 Part I offenses reported in Elk Grove Village for 2024, against a median of 11.3% across comparable Illinois cities — a gap of 4.7 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 119.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Elk Grove Village ranks 229 of 506 — above 277 of the 505 other Illinois cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +20.1% against the cohort median of 99.7. 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 Elk Grove Village'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.
