What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for McMinnville, OR
Comparable rate records
McMinnville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Oregon cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to McMinnville's 226.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Phoenix (227.1), Seaside (223.4), Oregon City (231.1), Tualatin (220.4). 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 279.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 226.5 in 2024 (-19.0%). The highest observed value was 317.9 in 2022 and the lowest 226.5 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
McMinnville sits mid-pack among comparable Oregon cities
At 226.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, McMinnville ranks 43 of 88 — above 45 of the 87 other Oregon cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +2.7% against the cohort median of 220.4. 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 McMinnville'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.
