The verdict
Ogden Town earns an A+ safety grade: violent crime runs 89% below the U.S. average, placing it among the safest cities in the country.
Based on 8 reported violent incidents in a population of 20,082. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-count caution
Ogden Town reported 8 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 20,082. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Ogden Town's 39.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Brewster (40.0), Rotterdam Town (39.3), Rhinebeck Village (39.3), Kent Town (39.0). 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 53.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 39.8 in 2024 (-25.4%). The highest observed value was 93.6 in 2022 and the lowest 39.8 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 39.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Ogden Town ranks 199 of 326 — above 127 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -35.0% against the cohort median of 61.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Ogden 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.
