Position in the state cohort
Springfield Township, Summit County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Ohio cities
At 241.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Springfield Township, Summit County ranks 76 of 340 — above 264 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 4.9% of the 688 Part I offenses reported in Springfield Township, Summit County for 2024, against a median of 10.6% across comparable Ohio cities — a gap of 5.7 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 93.0% of reported property offenses in Springfield Township, Summit County, against a cohort median of 83.9%. The remainder is burglary (21) and motor vehicle theft (25). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Springfield Township, Summit 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.
