What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Springhill, LA
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Springhill reported 8 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,424. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Comparable rate records
Springhill's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Louisiana cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Springhill's 180.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Covington (171.8), Broussard (194.6), Lake Arthur (156.4), Erath (206.7). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
Springhill reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Louisiana cities
At 180.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Springhill ranks 54 of 66 — above 12 of the 65 other Louisiana cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -57.6% against the cohort median of 426.8. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 296.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 180.8 in 2024 (-39.0%). The highest observed value was 432.0 in 2021 and the lowest 87.0 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 14.0% of the 57 Part I offenses reported in Springhill for 2024, against a median of 18.6% across comparable Louisiana cities — a gap of 4.6 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 Springhill'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 8 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,424. 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.
