According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Globe, AZ shows violent crime at 810.5 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 5,408 per 100,000.

Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Position in the state cohort
At 810.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Globe ranks 4 of 64 — above 60 of the 63 other Arizona cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +218.3% against the cohort median of 254.7. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 1910.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 810.5 in 2024 (-57.6%). The highest observed value was 1910.5 in 2020 and the lowest 471.8 in 2023. 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 Globe's 810.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Winslow (813.2), Phoenix (799.6), Show Low (737.4), St. Johns (628.2). 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 89.4% of reported property offenses in Globe, against a cohort median of 77.8%. The remainder is burglary (31) and motor vehicle theft (10). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Globe'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.
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.
