What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Maryville, IL
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Maryville reported 5 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 8,336. 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
Maryville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Illinois cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Maryville's 60.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Pana (59.9), Woodridge (59.9), Vernon Hills (60.1), Elmhurst (59.7). 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 87.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 60.0 in 2024 (-31.5%). The highest observed value was 134.2 in 2022 and the lowest 60.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 45.8% of reported property offenses in Maryville, against a cohort median of 70.3%. The remainder is burglary (6) and motor vehicle theft (7). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
Maryville sits mid-pack among comparable Illinois cities
At 60.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Maryville ranks 331 of 506 — above 175 of the 505 other Illinois cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -40.4% against the cohort median of 100.7. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 17.2% of the 29 Part I offenses reported in Maryville for 2024, against a median of 11.2% across comparable Illinois cities — a gap of 6.0 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 counts dominate Maryville'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 5 reported violent incidents in a population of 8,336. 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.
