Small-count caution
Indian Head Park reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,849. 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, Indian Head Park ranks 418 of 506 — above 0 of the 505 other Illinois cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Indian Head Park's 0.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Albers (0.0), Annawan (0.0), Ashland (0.0), Assumption (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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 100.0% of reported property offenses in Indian Head Park, against a cohort median of 70.2%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (0). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 12 Part I offenses reported in Indian Head Park for 2024, against a median of 11.3% across comparable Illinois cities — a gap of 11.3 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 Indian Head Park'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 3,849. 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.
