Small-count caution
Gilmanton reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,110. 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 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 132.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 24.3 in 2024 (-81.6%). The highest observed value was 132.3 in 2020 and the lowest 24.3 in 2024. 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 Gilmanton's 24.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Greenland (24.3), Wilton (25.0), Canaan (26.3), North Hampton (22.1). 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 24.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Gilmanton ranks 115 of 186 — above 71 of the 185 other New Hampshire cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -39.6% against the cohort median of 40.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Gilmanton'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 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,110. 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.
