According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Pennridge Regional, PA shows violent crime at 80.1 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 498.6 per 100,000.

Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Pennridge Regional reported 9 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 11,231. 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 Pennridge Regional's 80.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Coopersburg (80.2), Gallitzin Township (79.9), Ashland (80.4), Millersburg (79.5). 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 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 54.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 80.1 in 2024 (+46.2%). The highest observed value was 80.1 in 2024 and the lowest 17.8 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 66.1% of reported property offenses in Pennridge Regional, against a cohort median of 85.9%. The remainder is burglary (12) and motor vehicle theft (7). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 13.8% of the 65 Part I offenses reported in Pennridge Regional for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 3.8 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 80.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pennridge Regional ranks 375 of 838 — above 463 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +22.7% against the cohort median of 65.3. 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 Pennridge 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.
Based on 9 reported violent incidents in a population of 11,231. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
Pennridge Regional leans on larceny-theft at 57% of reported offenses, with a moderate mix index of 3,778.
Violent offenses are only 14% of the municipal total - a property-led book.
