Position in the state cohort
At 470.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Mount Healthy ranks 27 of 340 — above 313 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +315.6% against the cohort median of 113.1. 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 1040.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 470.0 in 2024 (-54.8%). The highest observed value was 1040.3 in 2020 and the lowest 247.6 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Mount Healthy's 470.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Garfield Heights (464.1), Springdale (477.6), Reynoldsburg (479.7), Marion (446.7). 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 70.3% of reported property offenses in Mount Healthy, against a cohort median of 84.0%. The remainder is burglary (28) and motor vehicle theft (21). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 16.2% of the 197 Part I offenses reported in Mount Healthy for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 5.7 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 counts dominate Mount Healthy'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.
