Based on 13 reported violent incidents in a population of 6,394. 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.

What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Lakemoor, IL

Small-count caution

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

Lakemoor reported 13 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 6,394. 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.

Comparable rate records

Lakemoor's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Illinois cohort

The nearest comparable 2024 records to Lakemoor's 203.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Worth (202.9), Rockdale (204.0), Grayville (202.6), Skokie (204.5). 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

Lakemoor sits mid-pack among comparable Illinois cities

At 203.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lakemoor ranks 141 of 506 — above 365 of the 505 other Illinois cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +104.0% against the cohort median of 99.7. 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 dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort

Larceny-theft is 91.1% of reported property offenses in Lakemoor, against a cohort median of 70.2%. The remainder is burglary (3) and motor vehicle theft (4). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Property counts dominate Lakemoor'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 13 reported violent incidents in a population of 6,394. 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.
