What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Liberty Village, NY
Position in the state cohort
Liberty Village reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable New York cities
At 793.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Liberty Village ranks 4 of 326 — above 322 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +1213.2% against the cohort median of 60.4. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 29.3% of the 140 Part I offenses reported in Liberty Village for 2024, against a median of 6.8% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 22.5 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.
Comparable rate records
Liberty Village's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New York cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Liberty Village's 793.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Albany (816.9), Syracuse (765.3), Buffalo (706.2), New York (671.0). 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 573.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 793.5 in 2024 (+38.3%). The highest observed value was 793.5 in 2024 and the lowest 0.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Liberty Village'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.
