Suffern Village, NY is close to the national middle for violent crime, and earns an A PlainCrime safety grade, where violent crime runs 65% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Suffern Village, NY shows violent crime at 123.7 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 751.1 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 65% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 18.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 123.7 in 2024 (+582.7%). The highest observed value was 230.1 in 2023 and the lowest 18.1 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Suffern Village reported 14 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 11,317. 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
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Suffern Village's 123.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are West Seneca Town (124.5), Scotia Village (124.9), Seneca Falls Town (125.2), Port Washington (125.7). 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
At 123.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Suffern Village ranks 96 of 326 — above 230 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +104.7% against the cohort median of 60.4. 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 14.1% of the 99 Part I offenses reported in Suffern Village for 2024, against a median of 6.8% across comparable New York cities — a gap of 7.4 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 Suffern Village'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 14 reported violent incidents in a population of 11,317. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
Suffern Village's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (80% of 99 offenses; mix index 6,464).
