Position in the state cohort
Huber Heights sits mid-pack among comparable Ohio cities
At 189.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Huber Heights ranks 97 of 340 — above 243 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 212.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 189.5 in 2024 (-10.7%). The highest observed value was 221.9 in 2023 and the lowest 161.9 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Huber Heights'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.
