What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for McCall, ID

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

McCall reported 13 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,188. 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

McCall's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Idaho cohort

The nearest comparable 2024 records to McCall's 310.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Payette (295.8), Boise (293.8), Blackfoot (288.0), Kellogg (280.6). 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

McCall reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Idaho cities

At 310.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, McCall ranks 12 of 55 — above 43 of the 54 other Idaho cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +61.2% against the cohort median of 192.6. 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 272.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 310.4 in 2024 (+14.1%). The highest observed value was 310.4 in 2024 and the lowest 130.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Property counts dominate McCall'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 13 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,188. 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.
