Small-count caution
Montgomery Town reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 9,464. 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
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Montgomery Town's 31.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Bethlehem Town (31.5), Mount Hope Town (31.0), Larchmont Village (31.0), Homer Village (32.9). 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
At 31.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Montgomery Town ranks 211 of 326 — above 115 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -48.3% against the cohort median of 61.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 95.2% of reported property offenses in Montgomery Town, against a cohort median of 86.3%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Montgomery Town'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 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 9,464. 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.
Montgomery Town's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (89% of 45 offenses; mix index 7,965).
Violent offenses are only 7% of the municipal total - a property-led book.
