What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Guilderland Town, NY
Comparable rate records
Guilderland Town's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New York cohort

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 73.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 110.1 in 2024 (+50.2%). The highest observed value was 112.0 in 2023 and the lowest 73.3 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Guilderland Town sits mid-pack among comparable New York cities
At 110.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Guilderland Town ranks 106 of 326 — above 220 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +82.3% 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 counts dominate Guilderland 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
