2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 74.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 58.4 in 2024 (-21.4%). The highest observed value was 74.3 in 2020 and the lowest 46.9 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Southampton Town sits mid-pack among comparable New York cities
At 58.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Southampton Town ranks 165 of 326 — above 161 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -4.8% against the cohort median of 61.3. 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 Southampton Town'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
