Small-count caution
Hampton Falls reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,395. 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.

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 205.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 41.8 in 2024 (-79.6%). The highest observed value was 205.2 in 2020 and the lowest 0.0 in 2023. 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 Hampton Falls's 41.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Brentwood (42.2), Fremont (41.0), New Hampton (40.9), Londonderry (40.8). 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 41.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hampton Falls ranks 88 of 186 — above 98 of the 185 other New Hampshire cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

Property counts dominate Hampton Falls'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 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,395. 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.
