Offense mix
Violent offenses are 45.5% of the 66 Part I offenses reported in Emmett for 2024, against a median of 21.6% across comparable Idaho cities — a gap of 23.9 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Emmett's 342.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Pocatello (341.2), Heyburn (348.2), Nampa (353.1), Idaho Falls (356.5). 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
At 342.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Emmett ranks 10 of 55 — above 45 of the 54 other Idaho cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +77.7% against the cohort median of 192.6. 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 477.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 342.2 in 2024 (-28.4%). The highest observed value was 661.9 in 2022 and the lowest 342.2 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 61.1% of reported property offenses in Emmett, against a cohort median of 77.0%. The remainder is burglary (13) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Emmett'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.
