What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for North Attleboro, MA
Comparable rate records
North Attleboro's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Massachusetts cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to North Attleboro's 95.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Franklin (94.9), Sterling (94.8), Williamstown (95.4), Ashland (95.4). 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
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 8.4% of the 356 Part I offenses reported in North Attleboro for 2024, against a median of 21.5% across comparable Massachusetts cities — a gap of 13.1 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.
Position in the state cohort
North Attleboro sits mid-pack among comparable Massachusetts cities
At 95.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, North Attleboro ranks 215 of 317 — above 102 of the 316 other Massachusetts cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -34.5% against the cohort median of 145.1. 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 dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 90.5% of reported property offenses in North Attleboro, against a cohort median of 78.1%. The remainder is burglary (15) and motor vehicle theft (16). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 109.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 95.0 in 2024 (-13.0%). The highest observed value was 164.5 in 2021 and the lowest 95.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate North Attleboro'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.
