What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Flint Township, MI
Position in the state cohort
Flint Township reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Michigan cities
At 930.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Flint Township ranks 19 of 366 — above 347 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +397.5% against the cohort median of 187.0. 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
Flint Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Michigan cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Flint Township's 930.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Grand Rapids (910.1), Mount Morris Township (959.3), Romulus (879.2), Pontiac (984.7). 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 1053.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 930.1 in 2024 (-11.7%). The highest observed value was 1083.7 in 2023 and the lowest 930.1 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Flint 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.
