Position in the state cohort
At 537.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Enid ranks 36 of 300 — above 264 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +153.2% against the cohort median of 212.4. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Enid's 537.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Kansas (530.5), Kingfisher (548.8), Del City (524.8), Spencer (518.1). 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 468.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 537.9 in 2024 (+14.8%). The highest observed value was 537.9 in 2024 and the lowest 347.2 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 18.4% of the 1,472 Part I offenses reported in Enid for 2024, against a median of 15.0% across comparable Oklahoma cities — a gap of 3.4 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.
Property counts dominate Enid'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.
