Based on 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,324. 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.

What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Mahoning Township, Carbon County, PA

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Mahoning Township, Carbon County reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,324. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.

Comparable rate records

Mahoning Township, Carbon County's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Pennsylvania cohort

The nearest comparable 2024 records to Mahoning Township, Carbon County's 69.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Patterson Township (69.5), Montgomery Township (69.0), Richland Township, Bucks County (70.0), Ferguson Township (68.6). 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.

Offense mix

The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort

Violent offenses are 2.5% of the 118 Part I offenses reported in Mahoning Township, Carbon County for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 7.5 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.

Position in the state cohort

Mahoning Township, Carbon County sits mid-pack among comparable Pennsylvania cities

At 69.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Mahoning Township, Carbon County ranks 411 of 838 — above 427 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +6.2% against the cohort median of 65.3. 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 Mahoning Township, Carbon 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 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,324. 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.

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.
