Manlius Town, NY is safer than most U.S. cities, and earns an A PlainCrime safety grade, where violent crime runs 86% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Manlius Town, NY shows violent crime at 47.9 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 1,252.8 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 86% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Manlius Town reported 12 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 25,064. 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
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Manlius Town's 47.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Fishkill Village (46.9), Goshen Town (46.8), Vestal Town (46.5), Canisteo Village (46.4). 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
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 62.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 47.9 in 2024 (-23.0%). The highest observed value was 83.3 in 2023 and the lowest 47.9 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 3.7% of the 326 Part I offenses reported in Manlius Town for 2024, against a median of 7.0% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 3.3 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 47.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Manlius Town ranks 179 of 326 — above 147 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -21.9% against the cohort median of 61.3. 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 Manlius Town'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 12 reported violent incidents in a population of 25,064. 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.
