Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Troy's 140.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Lakewood (142.1), Groveport (139.3), Clinton Township (142.7), Wadsworth (136.4). 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 113.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 140.7 in 2024 (+23.8%). The highest observed value was 140.7 in 2024 and the lowest 59.6 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 140.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Troy ranks 137 of 340 — above 203 of the 339 other Ohio cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +24.4% against the cohort median of 113.1. 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 Troy'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.
