Position in the state cohort
At 1191.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Herkimer Village ranks 1 of 326 — above 325 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +1871.9% 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Herkimer Village's 1191.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Newburgh (983.6), Albany (816.9), Liberty Village (793.5), Syracuse (765.3). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 12.4% of the 696 Part I offenses reported in Herkimer Village for 2024, against a median of 6.8% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 5.6 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 Herkimer Village'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.
