Based on 8 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,547. 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.
What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Frankfort Town, NY
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 84.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 175.9 in 2024 (+109.0%). The highest observed value was 175.9 in 2024 and the lowest 0.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Frankfort Town reported 8 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,547. 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
Frankfort Town's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New York cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Frankfort Town's 175.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Poughkeepsie Town (176.7), Westhampton Beach Village (182.0), Tonawanda (168.6), Saratoga Springs (185.7). 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
Frankfort Town reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable New York cities
At 175.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Frankfort Town ranks 68 of 326 — above 258 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +191.2% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 20.5% of the 39 Part I offenses reported in Frankfort Town for 2024, against a median of 6.8% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 13.7 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-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 64.5% of reported property offenses in Frankfort Town, against a cohort median of 86.4%. The remainder is burglary (6) and motor vehicle theft (5). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Frankfort 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 8 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,547. 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-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
