Proctor, MN carries a PlainCrime A safety grade with violent crime 72% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Proctor, MN shows violent crime at 97.5 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 617.3 per 100,000.

Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Proctor reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,078. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 198.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 97.5 in 2024 (-50.9%). The highest observed value was 198.3 in 2020 and the lowest 33.3 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Proctor's 97.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Kasson (97.1), Milaca (97.8), Woodbury (98.8), Little Falls (99.0). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 13.6% of the 22 Part I offenses reported in Proctor for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Minnesota cities — a gap of 3.1 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 97.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Proctor ranks 140 of 276 — above 136 of the 275 other Minnesota cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -1.4% against the cohort median of 98.8. 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 Proctor'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 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,078. 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.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
