Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Harrisville reported 8 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 6,725. 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Harrisville's 119.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Naples (118.6), American Fork/Cedar Hills (119.7), West Bountiful (120.1), Herriman (117.3). 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 170.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 119.0 in 2024 (-30.3%). The highest observed value was 191.3 in 2023 and the lowest 57.3 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 4.8% of the 167 Part I offenses reported in Harrisville for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Utah cities — a gap of 9.5 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 119.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Harrisville ranks 46 of 77 — above 31 of the 76 other Utah cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -16.2% against the cohort median of 141.9. 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
Larceny-theft is 89.9% of reported property offenses in Harrisville, against a cohort median of 81.5%. The remainder is burglary (12) and motor vehicle theft (4). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Harrisville'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 8 reported violent incidents in a population of 6,725. 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.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
