What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Newburgh Town, NY
Comparable rate records
Newburgh Town's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New York cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Newburgh Town's 110.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Monticello Village (110.9), Guilderland Town (110.1), Wellsville Village (110.0), Beacon (111.4).

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
Newburgh Town sits mid-pack among comparable New York cities
At 110.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Newburgh Town ranks 105 of 326 — above 221 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +83.1% 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 145.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 110.6 in 2024 (-23.8%). The highest observed value was 145.2 in 2020 and the lowest 71.4 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Newburgh 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
