Offense mix
Violent offenses are 60.0% of the 5 Part I offenses reported in Kidder Township for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 50.0 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.
Small-count caution
Kidder Township reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,853. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 464.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 161.9 in 2024 (-65.1%). The highest observed value was 464.4 in 2020 and the lowest 0.0 in 2021. 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 Kidder Township's 161.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Punxsutawney (161.8), Harmony Township (161.5), Curwensville (161.2), Frazer Township (159.6). 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 161.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Kidder Township ranks 189 of 838 — above 649 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +147.9% against the cohort median of 65.3. 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
Larceny-theft is 100.0% of reported property offenses in Kidder Township, against a cohort median of 85.8%. 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.
Violent counts are the sharper signal on Kidder Township's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; incomplete reporters stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Based on 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,853. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
