According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Plattekill Town, NY shows violent crime at 38.7 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 357.7 per 100,000.

Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Plattekill Town reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 10,344. 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 Plattekill Town's 38.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Kent Town (39.0), Rhinebeck Village (39.3), Rotterdam Town (39.3), Ogden Town (39.8). 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 38.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Plattekill Town ranks 203 of 326 — above 123 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -36.9% against the cohort median of 61.3. 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 Plattekill Town'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 4 reported violent incidents in a population of 10,344. 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.
