Small-count caution
Perry Township, Stark County reported 23 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 28,114. 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
At 81.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Perry Township, Stark County ranks 221 of 340 — above 119 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -29.0% 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 75.1% of reported property offenses in Perry Township, Stark County, against a cohort median of 84.0%. The remainder is burglary (49) and motor vehicle theft (4). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Perry Township, Stark 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 23 reported violent incidents in a population of 28,114. 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.
