What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Stevens Point, WI
Comparable rate records
Stevens Point's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Wisconsin cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Stevens Point's 162.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Eau Claire (162.2), South Milwaukee (158.6), Neenah (156.5), Algoma (155.9). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 20.8% of the 202 Part I offenses reported in Stevens Point for 2024, against a median of 12.0% across comparable Wisconsin cities — a gap of 8.7 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.
Position in the state cohort
Stevens Point sits mid-pack among comparable Wisconsin cities
At 162.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Stevens Point ranks 74 of 222 — above 148 of the 221 other Wisconsin cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +52.2% against the cohort median of 107.1. 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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 135.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 162.9 in 2024 (+20.0%). The highest observed value was 166.8 in 2022 and the lowest 100.5 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Stevens Point'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
