What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Fairfield Township, OH
Comparable rate records
Fairfield Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Ohio cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Fairfield Township's 147.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Delaware (146.6), Miamisburg (146.6), Hicksville (146.2), Ontario (150.4). 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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 104.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 147.9 in 2024 (+41.6%). The highest observed value was 147.9 in 2024 and the lowest 43.1 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Fairfield Township sits mid-pack among comparable Ohio cities
At 147.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Fairfield Township ranks 131 of 340 — above 209 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +30.8% against the cohort median of 113.1. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 95.0% of reported property offenses in Fairfield Township, against a cohort median of 83.9%. The remainder is burglary (13) and motor vehicle theft (9). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 7.1% of the 476 Part I offenses reported in Fairfield Township for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 3.5 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 Fairfield 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.
