2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 257.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 391.8 in 2024 (+52.4%). The highest observed value was 469.0 in 2022 and the lowest 60.0 in 2021. 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 Greenwood Village's 391.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Gunnison (391.5), Florence (387.7), South Fork (396.0), Sterling (398.3). 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 391.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Greenwood Village ranks 37 of 134 — above 97 of the 133 other Colorado cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +101.0% against the cohort median of 194.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 5.9% of the 996 Part I offenses reported in Greenwood Village for 2024, against a median of 11.7% across comparable Colorado cities — a gap of 5.8 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 counts dominate Greenwood Village'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.
