Small-count caution
Evarts reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 815. 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 0.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Evarts ranks 149 of 231 — above 0 of the 230 other Kentucky cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -100.0% against the cohort median of 66.9. 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 Evarts's 0.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Adairville (0.0), Allen (0.0), Anchorage (0.0), Bancroft (0.0). 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 42.9% of reported property offenses in Evarts, against a cohort median of 72.3%. The remainder is burglary (4) and motor vehicle theft (4). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 14 Part I offenses reported in Evarts for 2024, against a median of 8.1% across comparable Kentucky cities — a gap of 8.1 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 Evarts'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.
Based on 0 reported violent incidents in a population of 815. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
