Comparable rate records

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
Pocono Mountain Regional reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Pennsylvania cities
At 189.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pocono Mountain Regional ranks 156 of 838 — above 682 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +190.7% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 18.5% of the 439 Part I offenses reported in Pocono Mountain Regional for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 8.5 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 175.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 189.9 in 2024 (+8.1%). The highest observed value was 189.9 in 2024 and the lowest 134.5 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Pocono Mountain Regional'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
