What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Jeffersonville, IN
Comparable rate records
Jeffersonville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Indiana cohort

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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 214.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 322.4 in 2024 (+50.2%). The highest observed value was 322.4 in 2024 and the lowest 214.6 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Jeffersonville reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Indiana cities
At 322.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Jeffersonville ranks 22 of 113 — above 91 of the 112 other Indiana cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +107.6% against the cohort median of 155.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 67.6% of reported property offenses in Jeffersonville, against a cohort median of 82.0%. The remainder is burglary (101) and motor vehicle theft (179). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Jeffersonville'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
