Small-count caution
Grandview Plaza reported 5 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,607. 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 1530.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 311.1 in 2024 (-79.7%). The highest observed value was 1530.3 in 2020 and the lowest 311.1 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 35.7% of the 14 Part I offenses reported in Grandview Plaza for 2024, against a median of 13.8% across comparable Kansas cities — a gap of 22.0 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Grandview Plaza's 311.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Great Bend (315.5), Marysville (324.1), Fredonia (292.5), Fort Scott (290.5). 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 311.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Grandview Plaza ranks 36 of 125 — above 89 of the 124 other Kansas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +64.0% against the cohort median of 189.7. 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 88.9% of reported property offenses in Grandview Plaza, against a cohort median of 76.7%. The remainder is burglary (1) and motor vehicle theft (0). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Grandview Plaza'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 5 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,607. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
