The verdict
Rogersville earns an A safety grade: violent crime runs 80% below the U.S. average, placing it safer than most U.S. cities.
Based on 4 reported violent incidents in a population of 5,559. 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-count caution
Rogersville reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 5,559. 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 151.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 72.0 in 2024 (-52.5%). The highest observed value was 395.0 in 2021 and the lowest 72.0 in 2024. 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 Rogersville's 72.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Pleasant Valley (73.6), Campbell (66.6), Des Peres (66.2), Sunset Hills (77.8). 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 72.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Rogersville ranks 207 of 272 — above 65 of the 271 other Missouri cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -62.1% against the cohort median of 190.0. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 62.7% of reported property offenses in Rogersville, against a cohort median of 78.6%. The remainder is burglary (17) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 7.3% of the 55 Part I offenses reported in Rogersville for 2024, against a median of 13.6% across comparable Missouri cities — a gap of 6.3 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.
Property counts dominate Rogersville'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 4 reported violent incidents in a population of 5,559. 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.
