Comparable rate records
Northern York County Regional's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Pennsylvania cohort

2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 96.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 74.8 in 2024 (-22.1%). The highest observed value was 96.0 in 2020 and the lowest 68.3 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 15.8% of the 431 Part I offenses reported in Northern York County Regional for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 5.8 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.

Northern York County Regional sits mid-pack among comparable Pennsylvania cities

Property counts dominate Northern York County Regional'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
