Position in the state cohort
At 416.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Twin Falls ranks 5 of 55 — above 50 of the 54 other Idaho cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +116.3% against the cohort median of 192.6. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Twin Falls's 416.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Gooding (391.5), Caldwell (452.8), Idaho Falls (356.5), Nampa (353.1). 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 534.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 416.6 in 2024 (-22.1%). The highest observed value was 534.7 in 2020 and the lowest 416.6 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 27.0% of the 863 Part I offenses reported in Twin Falls for 2024, against a median of 21.6% across comparable Idaho cities — a gap of 5.4 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 84.1% of reported property offenses in Twin Falls, against a cohort median of 75.8%. The remainder is burglary (54) and motor vehicle theft (46). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Twin Falls'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.
