Port Chester Village, NY is safer than most U.S. cities, and earns an A PlainCrime safety grade, where violent crime runs 78% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Port Chester Village, NY shows violent crime at 76 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 965 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 78% 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
Port Chester Village reported 23 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 30,260. 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 Port Chester Village's 76.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Ellicott Town (75.9), Chester Village (75.6), Ramapo Town (75.4), Ellicottville (76.8). 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 76.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Port Chester Village ranks 147 of 326 — above 179 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +25.8% against the cohort median of 60.4. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 75.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 76.0 in 2024 (+0.8%). The highest observed value was 76.0 in 2024 and the lowest 61.7 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Port Chester Village'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 30,260. 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.
