What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Newark Village, NY
Position in the state cohort
Newark Village reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable New York cities
At 369.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Newark Village ranks 26 of 326 — above 300 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +511.5% against the cohort median of 60.4. 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
Newark Village's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New York cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Newark Village's 369.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Batavia (376.6), Spring Valley Village (360.9), Watervliet (356.2), Salamanca (383.6). 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 12.7% of the 260 Part I offenses reported in Newark Village for 2024, against a median of 6.8% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 5.9 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 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 352.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 369.5 in 2024 (+4.7%). The highest observed value was 369.5 in 2024 and the lowest 201.4 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Newark Village'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.
