What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Lansing Township, MI
Position in the state cohort
Lansing Township reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Michigan cities
At 666.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lansing Township ranks 31 of 366 — above 335 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +256.7% against the cohort median of 187.0. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
Lansing Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Michigan cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Lansing Township's 666.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are South Haven (672.8), Ypsilanti (657.2), Genesee Township (678.3), Lincoln Park (678.6). 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 12.7% of the 417 Part I offenses reported in Lansing Township for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Michigan cities — a gap of 4.1 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 714.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 666.9 in 2024 (-6.7%). The highest observed value was 1036.1 in 2023 and the lowest 666.9 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Lansing Township'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.
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.
