What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Rigby, ID

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 46.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 173.7 in 2024 (+276.3%). The highest observed value was 173.7 in 2024 and the lowest 35.4 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Rigby reported 10 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 5,756. 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

Rigby's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Idaho cohort

The nearest comparable 2024 records to Rigby's 173.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are St. Anthony (169.2), Hailey (179.3), Bonners Ferry (181.6), Lewiston (191.2). 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

The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort

Violent offenses are 12.8% of the 78 Part I offenses reported in Rigby for 2024, against a median of 22.5% across comparable Idaho cities — a gap of 9.7 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

Rigby sits mid-pack among comparable Idaho cities

At 173.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Rigby ranks 32 of 55 — above 23 of the 54 other Idaho cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -12.0% against the cohort median of 197.4. 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 Rigby'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 10 reported violent incidents in a population of 5,756. 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.
