They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
At 428.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Wagoner ranks 65 of 300 — above 235 of the 299 other Oklahoma cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +101.8% against the cohort median of 212.4. 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 Wagoner'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.
