Based on 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,315. 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 Mansfield, MO
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Mansfield reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,315. 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
Mansfield's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Missouri cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Mansfield's 228.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Hermann (228.6), Carrollton (230.5), Pevely (230.7), Webb City (223.8). 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
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 25.0% of the 12 Part I offenses reported in Mansfield for 2024, against a median of 13.4% across comparable Missouri cities — a gap of 11.6 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 88.9% of reported property offenses in Mansfield, against a cohort median of 78.6%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
Mansfield sits mid-pack among comparable Missouri cities
At 228.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Mansfield ranks 115 of 272 — above 157 of the 271 other Missouri cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +23.8% against the cohort median of 184.3. 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 Mansfield'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 1,315. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
