Small-count caution
Scarsdale Village reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 17,602. 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 16.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 5.7 in 2024 (-66.0%). The highest observed value was 22.4 in 2021 and the lowest 0.0 in 2023. 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 Scarsdale Village's 5.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Harrison Town (6.3), Mamaroneck Town (8.2), Lewisboro Town (8.4), Amityville Village (10.4). 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 5.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Scarsdale Village ranks 243 of 326 — above 83 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -90.7% against the cohort median of 61.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 1.6% of the 61 Part I offenses reported in Scarsdale Village for 2024, against a median of 7.0% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 5.3 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 75.0% of reported property offenses in Scarsdale Village, against a cohort median of 86.4%. The remainder is burglary (9) and motor vehicle theft (6). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Scarsdale Village'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 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 17,602. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
Scarsdale Village's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (74% of 61 offenses; mix index 5,759).
