Position in the state cohort
At 914.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, North College Hill ranks 10 of 340 — above 330 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +708.9% 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to North College Hill's 914.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Cincinnati (845.6), Akron (820.3), Toledo (1041.1), Whitehall (1050.9). 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 are 22.4% of the 384 Part I offenses reported in North College Hill for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 11.8 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 North College Hill'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.
