Position in the state cohort
At 74.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Springfield Township, Mahoning County ranks 228 of 340 — above 112 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -35.3% against the cohort median of 115.2. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 72.4% of reported property offenses in Springfield Township, Mahoning County, against a cohort median of 84.0%. The remainder is burglary (8) and motor vehicle theft (0). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 14.7% of the 34 Part I offenses reported in Springfield Township, Mahoning County for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 4.1 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Property counts dominate Springfield Township, Mahoning County'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 5 reported violent incidents in a population of 6,704. 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.
