What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Hanahan, SC
Comparable rate records
Hanahan's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the South Carolina cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Hanahan's 225.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Gaffney (225.8), Summerville (222.4), Surfside Beach (228.5), Mauldin (219.3).

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
Hanahan sits mid-pack among comparable South Carolina cities
At 225.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hanahan ranks 108 of 149 — above 41 of the 148 other South Carolina cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -46.2% against the cohort median of 418.8. 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 206.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 225.2 in 2024 (+9.3%). The highest observed value was 398.7 in 2022 and the lowest 200.9 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Hanahan'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.
