Position in the state cohort
At 88.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lehi ranks 56 of 77 — above 21 of the 76 other Utah cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -37.8% against the cohort median of 141.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2022–2024 direction
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 95.1 per 100,000 in 2022 to 88.2 in 2024 (-7.2%). The highest observed value was 95.1 in 2022 and the lowest 80.3 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
