What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Mount Morris Township, MI
Position in the state cohort
Mount Morris Township reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Michigan cities
At 959.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Mount Morris Township ranks 18 of 366 — above 348 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +413.1% 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.
Comparable rate records
Mount Morris Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Michigan cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Mount Morris Township's 959.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Pontiac (984.7), Flint Township (930.1), Grand Rapids (910.1), Romulus (879.2). 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 34.8% of the 538 Part I offenses reported in Mount Morris Township for 2024, against a median of 16.7% across comparable Michigan 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 712.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 959.3 in 2024 (+34.6%). The highest observed value was 1177.2 in 2023 and the lowest 712.6 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 60.7% of reported property offenses in Mount Morris Township, against a cohort median of 79.7%. The remainder is burglary (71) and motor vehicle theft (67). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Mount Morris Township'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.
