Maple Bluff, WI carries a PlainCrime F safety grade with violent crime 539% above the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Maple Bluff, WI shows violent crime at 2,249.8 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 1,086.1 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 539% above the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade F from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 534.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 2249.8 in 2024 (+321.0%). The highest observed value was 2249.8 in 2024 and the lowest 534.4 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 67.4% of the 43 Part I offenses reported in Maple Bluff for 2024, against a median of 12.0% across comparable Wisconsin cities — a gap of 55.4 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 2249.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Maple Bluff ranks 1 of 222 — above 221 of the 221 other Wisconsin cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +2001.6% against the cohort median of 107.1. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Small-count caution
Maple Bluff reported 29 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,289. 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 Maple Bluff's 2249.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Milwaukee (1430.9), West Milwaukee (977.4), Hayward (730.8), Lancaster (668.2). 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 71.4% of reported property offenses in Maple Bluff, against a cohort median of 88.4%. The remainder is burglary (3) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Violent counts are the sharper signal on Maple Bluff's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; incomplete reporters stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Based on 29 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,289. 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.
