What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Valley Brook, OK
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Valley Brook reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 641. 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 389.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 156.0 in 2024 (-60.0%). The highest observed value was 1303.8 in 2021 and the lowest 156.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
Valley Brook's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Oklahoma cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Valley Brook's 156.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Idabel (157.9), Drumright (158.3), Inola (158.4), Langley (152.9). 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 5.0% of the 20 Part I offenses reported in Valley Brook for 2024, against a median of 15.0% across comparable Oklahoma cities — a gap of 10.0 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
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 47.4% of reported property offenses in Valley Brook, against a cohort median of 66.1%. The remainder is burglary (8) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
Valley Brook sits mid-pack among comparable Oklahoma cities
At 156.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Valley Brook ranks 185 of 300 — above 115 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -26.8% 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.
Property counts dominate Valley Brook'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 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 641. 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.
