What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Grandville, MI
Comparable rate records
Grandville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Michigan cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Grandville's 360.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Ubly (361.0), Big Rapids (363.8), Escanaba (357.1), East Jordan (355.1). 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
Grandville reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Michigan cities
At 360.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Grandville ranks 92 of 366 — above 274 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +93.1% against the cohort median of 187.0. 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 295.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 360.9 in 2024 (+22.2%). The highest observed value was 360.9 in 2024 and the lowest 214.6 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 9.5% of the 641 Part I offenses reported in Grandville for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Michigan cities — a gap of 7.3 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
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 89.3% of reported property offenses in Grandville, against a cohort median of 79.7%. The remainder is burglary (21) and motor vehicle theft (41). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Grandville'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
