What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Jackson Township, Cambria County, PA

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Jackson Township, Cambria County reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,117. 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.

Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 3 Part I offenses reported in Jackson Township, Cambria County for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 10.0 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.
