Heber, UT carries a PlainCrime B safety grade with violent crime 39% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Heber, UT shows violent crime at 214.9 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 906.6 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 39% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade B from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 123.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 214.9 in 2024 (+74.3%). The highest observed value was 214.9 in 2024 and the lowest 65.4 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 Heber's 214.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Roy (213.8), St. George (210.0), Willard (209.3), Provo (206.6). 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 214.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Heber ranks 22 of 77 — above 55 of the 76 other Utah cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +57.2% against the cohort median of 136.6. 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 19.2% of the 214 Part I offenses reported in Heber for 2024, against a median of 14.1% across comparable Utah cities — a gap of 5.0 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 Heber'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.
