Position in the state cohort
At 1131.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lockland ranks 6 of 340 — above 334 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +900.1% against the cohort median of 113.1. 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 are 33.9% of the 115 Part I offenses reported in Lockland for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 23.3 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 697.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 1131.1 in 2024 (+62.1%). The highest observed value was 1131.1 in 2024 and the lowest 697.7 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Lockland's 1131.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Canton (1121.9), Whitehall (1050.9), Toledo (1041.1), Dayton (1339.2). 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 61.8% of reported property offenses in Lockland, against a cohort median of 84.0%. The remainder is burglary (13) and motor vehicle theft (16). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Lockland'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.
