What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Tishomingo, OK
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Tishomingo reported 5 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,050. 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
Tishomingo's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Oklahoma cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Tishomingo's 163.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Guthrie (163.7), Earlsboro (163.4), Edmond (165.2), Vinita (168.3). 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
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 30.0% of reported property offenses in Tishomingo, against a cohort median of 66.1%. The remainder is burglary (39) and motor vehicle theft (3). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 7.7% of the 65 Part I offenses reported in Tishomingo for 2024, against a median of 15.0% across comparable Oklahoma cities — a gap of 7.3 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
Tishomingo sits mid-pack among comparable Oklahoma cities
At 163.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Tishomingo ranks 178 of 300 — above 122 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -23.1% 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window close to where it started
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 162.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 163.9 in 2024 (+1.1%). The highest observed value was 287.9 in 2023 and the lowest 134.5 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Tishomingo'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 5 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,050. 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.
