Small-count caution
South Glens Falls Village reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,709. 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 South Glens Falls Village's 107.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Mamaroneck Village (108.5), Dryden Village (108.9), Catskill Village (106.6), Alfred Village (106.2). 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 107.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, South Glens Falls Village ranks 110 of 326 — above 216 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +78.5% 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 137.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 107.8 in 2024 (-21.3%). The highest observed value was 290.9 in 2022 and the lowest 0.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate South Glens Falls 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 4 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,709. 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.
