What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Seekonk, MA
Comparable rate records
Seekonk's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Massachusetts cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Seekonk's 211.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Natick (213.1), East Longmeadow (209.4), Becket (208.7), Belchertown (208.6). 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 11.4% of the 299 Part I offenses reported in Seekonk for 2024, against a median of 21.5% across comparable Massachusetts cities — a gap of 10.1 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
Seekonk sits mid-pack among comparable Massachusetts cities
At 211.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Seekonk ranks 102 of 317 — above 215 of the 316 other Massachusetts cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +47.0% against the cohort median of 143.8. 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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 175.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 211.4 in 2024 (+20.3%). The highest observed value was 266.5 in 2023 and the lowest 175.8 in 2020. 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 88.7% of reported property offenses in Seekonk, against a cohort median of 78.1%. The remainder is burglary (14) and motor vehicle theft (16). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Seekonk'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
