What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Hunter Town, NY
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Hunter Town reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,017. 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.
Position in the state cohort
Hunter Town reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable New York cities
At 0.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hunter Town ranks 244 of 326 — above 0 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -100.0% against the cohort median of 61.3. 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
Hunter Town's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New York cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Hunter Town's 0.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Afton Village (0.0), Alexandria Bay Village (0.0), Altamont Village (0.0), Andover Village (0.0). 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
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 20 Part I offenses reported in Hunter Town for 2024, against a median of 7.0% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 7.0 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 Hunter Town'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 0 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,017. 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.
