Comparable rate records

2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 62.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 81.6 in 2024 (+31.6%). The highest observed value was 116.3 in 2023 and the lowest 8.9 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 90.9% of reported property offenses in Evesham Township, against a cohort median of 82.0%. The remainder is burglary (38) and motor vehicle theft (22). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
Evesham Township sits mid-pack among comparable New Jersey cities
At 81.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Evesham Township ranks 184 of 417 — above 233 of the 416 other New Jersey cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +19.8% against the cohort median of 68.1. 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 Evesham Township'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
