2020–2024 direction

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 340.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 242.1 in 2024 (-29.0%). The highest observed value was 340.9 in 2020 and the lowest 242.1 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Spokane Valley sits mid-pack among comparable Washington cities
At 242.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Spokane Valley ranks 57 of 164 — above 107 of the 163 other Washington cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

Property counts dominate Spokane Valley'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.
