Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Scotia Village reported 9 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 7,207. 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
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Scotia Village's 124.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Seneca Falls Town (125.2), West Seneca Town (124.5), Port Washington (125.7), Suffern Village (123.7). 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 91.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 124.9 in 2024 (+36.1%). The highest observed value was 206.8 in 2022 and the lowest 91.7 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 124.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Scotia Village ranks 94 of 326 — above 232 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +106.7% 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.
Property counts dominate Scotia 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 9 reported violent incidents in a population of 7,207. 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.
Scotia Village's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (78% of 119 offenses; mix index 6,270).
Violent offenses are only 8% of the municipal total - a property-led book.
