The verdict
Findlay Township earns an A+ safety grade: violent crime runs 96% below the U.S. average, placing it among the safest cities in the country.
Based on 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 6,592. 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.
Small-count caution
Findlay Township reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 6,592. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 65.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 15.2 in 2024 (-76.7%). The highest observed value was 65.1 in 2020 and the lowest 0.0 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Findlay Township's 15.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Oakmont (15.2), Middletown Township (15.4), Franconia Township (14.8), Lower Heidelberg Township (14.7). 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 15.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Findlay Township ranks 624 of 838 — above 214 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -77.1% against the cohort median of 66.1. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 3.2% of the 31 Part I offenses reported in Findlay Township for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 6.8 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 Findlay 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.
