Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Geddes Town reported 10 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 10,158. 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 60.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 98.4 in 2024 (+64.1%). The highest observed value was 127.5 in 2023 and the lowest 58.1 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 Geddes Town's 98.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are New Windsor Town (97.1), Cuba Town (96.8), Riverhead Town (100.9), Clarkstown Town (94.9). 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 98.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Geddes Town ranks 117 of 326 — above 209 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +62.9% 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 75.4% of reported property offenses in Geddes Town, against a cohort median of 86.4%. The remainder is burglary (29) and motor vehicle theft (19). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Geddes 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 10 reported violent incidents in a population of 10,158. 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.
