What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Perry Township, Franklin County, OH

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Perry Township, Franklin County reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,743. 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.

Position in the state cohort

Perry Township, Franklin County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Ohio cities

At 26.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Perry Township, Franklin County ranks 306 of 340 — above 34 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -76.8% against the cohort median of 115.2. 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

Perry Township, Franklin County's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Ohio cohort

The nearest comparable 2024 records to Perry Township, Franklin County's 26.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Perrysburg (27.7), Upper Arlington (28.2), Paulding (28.4), Westlake (29.2). 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 50.0% of reported property offenses in Perry Township, Franklin County, against a cohort median of 84.0%. The remainder is burglary (2) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Offense mix

Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 14.3% of the 7 Part I offenses reported in Perry Township, Franklin County for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 3.7 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 Perry Township, Franklin County'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 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,743. 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-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
