Small-count caution
Lawrence Township, Tioga County reported 2 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,144.

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 70.8% of reported property offenses in Lawrence Township, Tioga County, against a cohort median of 85.9%. 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 93.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lawrence Township, Tioga County ranks 332 of 838 — above 506 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

Property counts dominate Lawrence Township, Tioga County'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 2 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,144. 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.
