What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Everett, MA
Position in the state cohort
Everett reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Massachusetts cities
At 347.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Everett ranks 41 of 317 — above 276 of the 316 other Massachusetts cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +141.9% against the cohort median of 143.8. 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
Everett's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Massachusetts cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Everett's 347.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are New Bedford (353.2), East Brookfield (357.8), Quincy (335.1), Oak Bluffs (364.8). 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 387.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 347.9 in 2024 (-10.1%). The highest observed value was 387.0 in 2020 and the lowest 302.4 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Everett'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.
