The verdict
South Pymatuning Township earns an A safety grade: violent crime runs 78% below the U.S. average, placing it safer than most U.S. cities.
Based on 2 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,576. 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-count caution
South Pymatuning Township reported 2 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,576. 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 320.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 77.6 in 2024 (-75.8%). The highest observed value was 320.8 in 2020 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to South Pymatuning Township's 77.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Washington Township, Northampton County (77.6), Dalton (77.3), Lower Allen Township (78.2), Washington Township, Franklin County (77.1). 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 77.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, South Pymatuning Township ranks 383 of 838 — above 455 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +18.9% against the cohort median of 65.3. 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 South Pymatuning Township'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.
