Small-count caution
Ishpeming Township reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,449. 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.

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 56.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 0.0 in 2024 (-100.0%). The highest observed value was 58.0 in 2023 and the lowest 0.0 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Ishpeming Township's 0.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Addison Township (0.0), Akron (0.0), Bancroft (0.0), Breckenridge (0.0).

Offense mix
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 3 Part I offenses reported in Ishpeming Township for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Michigan cities — a gap of 16.8 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 100.0% of reported property offenses in Ishpeming Township, against a cohort median of 79.7%. 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.
Property counts dominate Ishpeming Township'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 3,449. 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.
