Small-count caution
Madison Township, Franklin County reported 9 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 19,179.

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
At 46.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Madison Township, Franklin County ranks 276 of 340 — above 64 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -59.3% against the cohort median of 115.2. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Madison Township, Franklin 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 9 reported violent incidents in a population of 19,179. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
