Position in the state cohort
Saratoga Springs sits mid-pack among comparable Utah cities
At 90.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Saratoga Springs ranks 54 of 77 — above 23 of the 76 other Utah cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -36.1% against the cohort median of 141.9. 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 lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 117.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 90.8 in 2024 (-23.0%). The highest observed value was 160.6 in 2021 and the lowest 90.8 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 90.8% of reported property offenses in Saratoga Springs, against a cohort median of 81.5%. The remainder is burglary (19) and motor vehicle theft (12). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Saratoga Springs'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.
