Pleasant View, UT carries a PlainCrime A safety grade with violent crime 77% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Pleasant View, UT shows violent crime at 79.5 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 309 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 77% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Pleasant View reported 9 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 11,326. 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 Pleasant View's 79.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Centerville (79.3), North Park (78.7), Enoch (81.0), Santa Clara/Ivins (77.4). 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 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 53.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 79.5 in 2024 (+48.5%). The highest observed value was 134.7 in 2021 and the lowest 52.9 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 79.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pleasant View ranks 61 of 77 — above 16 of the 76 other Utah cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -44.0% against the cohort median of 141.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 20.5% of the 44 Part I offenses reported in Pleasant View for 2024, against a median of 14.1% across comparable Utah cities — a gap of 6.3 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 Pleasant View'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 11,326. 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.
