According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills, KY shows violent crime at 66.4 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 978.8 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 81% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 32.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 66.4 in 2024 (+103.5%). The highest observed value was 66.4 in 2024 and the lowest 16.1 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 6,028. 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
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills's 66.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are La Grange (66.4), Villa Hills (65.7), Springfield (67.4), Fort Wright (65.2). 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 91.5% of reported property offenses in Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills, against a cohort median of 72.2%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (5). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
At 66.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills ranks 117 of 231 — above 114 of the 230 other Kentucky cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -0.8% against the cohort median of 66.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills'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 4 reported violent incidents in a population of 6,028. 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.
