property crimes per 100K
Based on 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,060. 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.
What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Tioga, ND
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Tioga reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,060. 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 445.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 145.6 in 2024 (-67.3%). The highest observed value was 445.1 in 2020 and the lowest 52.0 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
Tioga's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the North Dakota cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Tioga's 145.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Valley City (152.9), West Fargo (163.8), Wishek (119.5), Stanley (187.5). 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 93.8% of reported property offenses in Tioga, against a cohort median of 79.0%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 15.8% of the 19 Part I offenses reported in Tioga for 2024, against a median of 12.5% across comparable North Dakota cities — a gap of 3.3 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
Tioga sits mid-pack among comparable North Dakota cities
At 145.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Tioga ranks 13 of 23 — above 10 of the 22 other North Dakota cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -8.0% against the cohort median of 158.3. 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 Tioga'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 2,060. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
