According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Fallsburg Town, NY shows violent crime at 90.5 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 480.3 per 100,000.

Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Fallsburg Town reported 13 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 14,365. 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Fallsburg Town's 90.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Washingtonville Village (88.8), Evans Town (93.0), Independence Town (93.4), Goshen Village (87.3). 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 58.0% of reported property offenses in Fallsburg Town, against a cohort median of 86.4%. The remainder is burglary (24) and motor vehicle theft (5). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 15.9% of the 82 Part I offenses reported in Fallsburg Town for 2024, against a median of 6.8% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 9.1 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 90.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Fallsburg Town ranks 125 of 326 — above 201 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +49.8% against the cohort median of 60.4. 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 Fallsburg Town'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 13 reported violent incidents in a population of 14,365. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
Fallsburg Town leans on larceny-theft at 49% of reported offenses, with a moderate mix index of 3,489.
Violent offenses are 16% of the municipal total; property offenses still dominate the count.
