The verdict
Raisin Township earns an A safety grade: violent crime runs 75% below the U.S. average, placing it safer than most U.S. cities.
Based on 7 reported violent incidents in a population of 8,038. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 38.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 87.1 in 2024 (+126.0%). The highest observed value was 150.9 in 2022 and the lowest 38.5 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Raisin Township reported 7 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 8,038. 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 32.3% of reported property offenses in Raisin Township, against a cohort median of 79.7%. The remainder is burglary (20) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Raisin Township's 87.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Caspian-Gaastra (87.6), Farmington (88.2), Richmond (85.9), Carson City (88.6). 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 87.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Raisin Township ranks 264 of 366 — above 102 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -53.7% against the cohort median of 188.3. 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 Raisin Township'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.
