What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Stroud Area Regional, PA
Comparable rate records
Stroud Area Regional's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Pennsylvania cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Stroud Area Regional's 155.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Trafford (155.3), Catasauqua (154.9), Springdale (154.7), West Newton (154.6). 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 262.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 155.1 in 2024 (-40.9%). The highest observed value was 262.4 in 2020 and the lowest 31.4 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Stroud Area Regional reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Pennsylvania cities
At 155.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Stroud Area Regional ranks 202 of 838 — above 636 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +137.5% against the cohort median of 65.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 6.6% of the 802 Part I offenses reported in Stroud Area Regional for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 3.4 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 Stroud Area Regional'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.
