The verdict
Hydro: among the safest cities in the country.
Based on 0 reported violent incidents in a population of 896. 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-count caution
Hydro reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 896. 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
At 0.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hydro ranks 240 of 300 — above 0 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -100.0% against the cohort median of 213.2. 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 Hydro's 0.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Afton (0.0), Amber (0.0), Arapaho (0.0), Arcadia (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
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 4 Part I offenses reported in Hydro for 2024, against a median of 15.0% across comparable Oklahoma cities — a gap of 15.0 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 75.0% of reported property offenses in Hydro, against a cohort median of 66.1%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Hydro'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.

Hydro's crime figures on this page originate from Hydro Police Department's submission to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
This agency reports via NIBRS, the incident-based system that captures more detail per offense (multiple crimes per incident, victim/offender data) than the older summary counts.
Crime rates read differently at different scales, so these are the Oklahoma cities closest to Hydro in population. Their populations run from 871 to 938, against 896 here. Or use our side-by-side compare tool to benchmark two cities directly.
These Oklahoma cities report the closest violent-crime rates to Hydro's 0/100K (same FBI UCR vintage rules; size peers above are excluded so the two lists stay distinct).
Micro-municipal read: Hydro's FBI UCR Table 8 row (2024) is the only source for the rates above.
With a small population base, per-100,000 rates amplify sparse counts. Incomplete submissions are excluded from rankings. See FBI.gov UCR for the raw Table 8 file.
