What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Snyder, OK
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Snyder reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,243. 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 553.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 241.4 in 2024 (-56.4%). The highest observed value was 708.7 in 2021 and the lowest 161.2 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
Snyder's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Oklahoma cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Snyder's 241.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Sand Springs (243.4), Beaver (238.5), Purcell (245.0), Achille (237.5). 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 55.0% of reported property offenses in Snyder, against a cohort median of 66.1%. The remainder is burglary (6) and motor vehicle theft (3). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
Snyder sits mid-pack among comparable Oklahoma cities
At 241.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Snyder ranks 138 of 300 — above 162 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +13.6% against the cohort median of 212.4. 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 Snyder'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 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,243. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
