Position in the state cohort
Springfield sits mid-pack among comparable Oregon cities
At 305.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Springfield ranks 25 of 88 — above 63 of the 87 other Oregon cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window close to where it started
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 303.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 305.8 in 2024 (+0.9%). The highest observed value was 326.9 in 2023 and the lowest 286.2 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Springfield'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.
