Comparable rate records

Position in the state cohort
Greece Town sits mid-pack among comparable New York cities
At 141.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Greece Town ranks 86 of 326 — above 240 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +134.3% 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
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 68.2% of reported property offenses in Greece Town, against a cohort median of 86.4%. The remainder is burglary (168) and motor vehicle theft (398). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower

Property counts dominate Greece 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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
