What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Pagedale, MO
Position in the state cohort
Pagedale reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Missouri cities
At 1806.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pagedale ranks 3 of 272 — above 269 of the 271 other Missouri cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +880.0% against the cohort median of 184.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 33.3% of the 135 Part I offenses reported in Pagedale for 2024, against a median of 13.4% across comparable Missouri cities — a gap of 19.9 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.
Comparable rate records
Pagedale's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Missouri cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Pagedale's 1806.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Riverview (1864.7), Vinita Park (1718.8), Country Club Hills (1621.1), Kansas City (1547.1). 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 60.0% of reported property offenses in Pagedale, against a cohort median of 78.6%. The remainder is burglary (14) and motor vehicle theft (22). 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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 1642.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 1806.5 in 2024 (+10.0%). The highest observed value was 2373.0 in 2021 and the lowest 1600.6 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Pagedale'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 small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
