What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Maumelle, AR
Comparable rate records
Maumelle's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Arkansas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Maumelle's 179.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Tuckerman (179.0), Cherry Valley (177.0), Highfill (182.5), Mulberry (182.9). 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.
Position in the state cohort
Maumelle sits mid-pack among comparable Arkansas cities
At 179.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Maumelle ranks 151 of 204 — above 53 of the 203 other Arkansas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -41.8% against the cohort median of 308.1. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 142.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 179.3 in 2024 (+26.3%). The highest observed value was 216.4 in 2023 and the lowest 142.0 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 13.8% of the 253 Part I offenses reported in Maumelle for 2024, against a median of 21.1% across comparable Arkansas cities — a gap of 7.3 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.
Property counts dominate Maumelle'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
