Comparable rate records
Florissant's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Missouri cohort

Position in the state cohort
Florissant sits mid-pack among comparable Missouri cities
At 341.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Florissant ranks 79 of 272 — above 193 of the 271 other Missouri cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +85.1% against the cohort median of 184.3. 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
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 59.0% of reported property offenses in Florissant, against a cohort median of 78.6%. The remainder is burglary (75) and motor vehicle theft (306). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 393.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 341.3 in 2024 (-13.3%). The highest observed value was 393.6 in 2020 and the lowest 266.4 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Florissant'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
