The verdict
Perryopolis earns an A safety grade: violent crime runs 47% below the U.S. average, placing it close to the national middle for violent crime.
Based on 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,599. 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 100.0% of the 3 Part I offenses reported in Perryopolis for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 90.0 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.
Small-count caution
Perryopolis reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,599. 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 Perryopolis's 187.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Millvale (186.8), Sayre (186.2), Union Township, Lawrence County (185.6), Pocono Mountain Regional (189.9). 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 187.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Perryopolis ranks 157 of 838 — above 681 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +187.2% 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.
Violent counts are the sharper signal on Perryopolis's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; incomplete reporters stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
