According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Springville, UT shows violent crime at 160.5 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 824.9 per 100,000.

Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Springville's 160.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Taylorsville City (169.5), Washington (150.7), Draper (170.8), Cedar City (146.8). 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
At 160.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Springville ranks 35 of 77 — above 42 of the 76 other Utah cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +17.4% against the cohort median of 136.6. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Springville'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.
