Stroud, OK is safer than most U.S. cities, and earns a B PlainCrime safety grade, where violent crime runs 70% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Stroud, OK shows violent crime at 104.9 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 2,202.8 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 70% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade B from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Stroud reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,860. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 222.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 104.9 in 2024 (-52.8%). The highest observed value was 360.8 in 2022 and the lowest 104.9 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Stroud's 104.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Verdigris (102.1), Apache (100.9), Glenpool (109.8), Shady Point (99.9). 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 104.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Stroud ranks 218 of 300 — above 82 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -50.8% against the cohort median of 213.2. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 4.5% of the 66 Part I offenses reported in Stroud for 2024, against a median of 15.0% across comparable Oklahoma cities — a gap of 10.5 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 is 55.6% of reported property offenses in Stroud, against a cohort median of 66.1%. The remainder is burglary (24) and motor vehicle theft (4). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Stroud'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 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,860. 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.
