What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Menominee, MI
Comparable rate records
Menominee's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Michigan cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Menominee's 418.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Center Line (421.8), Charlotte (422.7), Yale (423.7), Mount Pleasant (427.7). 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.
Position in the state cohort
Menominee reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Michigan cities
At 418.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Menominee ranks 74 of 366 — above 292 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +123.9% against the cohort median of 187.0. 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 30.1% of the 113 Part I offenses reported in Menominee for 2024, against a median of 16.7% across comparable Michigan cities — a gap of 13.4 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window close to where it started
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 426.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 418.6 in 2024 (-1.9%). The highest observed value was 455.2 in 2021 and the lowest 386.0 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Menominee'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.
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.
