What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Moline Acres, MO
Position in the state cohort
Moline Acres reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Missouri cities
At 1155.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Moline Acres ranks 11 of 272 — above 261 of the 271 other Missouri cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +526.9% against the cohort median of 184.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Moline Acres reported 24 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,077. 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
Moline Acres's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Missouri cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Moline Acres's 1155.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Jonesburg (1142.1), Springfield (1178.1), Caruthersville (1228.3), Sikeston (1029.6). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 31.6% of the 76 Part I offenses reported in Moline Acres for 2024, against a median of 13.4% across comparable Missouri cities — a gap of 18.1 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-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 53.8% of reported property offenses in Moline Acres, against a cohort median of 78.6%. The remainder is burglary (11) and motor vehicle theft (13). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 1539.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 1155.5 in 2024 (-25.0%). The highest observed value was 1587.3 in 2021 and the lowest 566.6 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Moline Acres'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 24 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,077. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
