What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Ramapo Town, NY
Comparable rate records
Ramapo Town's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New York cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Ramapo Town's 75.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Chester Village (75.6), Lynbrook Village (75.1), Ellicott Town (75.9), Port Chester Village (76.0). 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 make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 10.7% of the 777 Part I offenses reported in Ramapo Town for 2024, against a median of 6.8% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 3.9 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
Ramapo Town sits mid-pack among comparable New York cities
At 75.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Ramapo Town ranks 150 of 326 — above 176 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +24.7% 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window close to where it started
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 76.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 75.4 in 2024 (-1.8%). The highest observed value was 90.3 in 2023 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.
Property counts dominate Ramapo Town'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
