According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Warren, PA shows violent crime at 519.8 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 1,316.1 per 100,000.

Position in the state cohort
At 519.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Warren ranks 39 of 838 — above 799 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +695.8% against the cohort median of 65.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 28.3% of the 166 Part I offenses reported in Warren for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 18.3 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Warren's 519.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Chester Township (522.6), York (530.1), Stowe Township (506.9), West Homestead (505.1). 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 94.1% of reported property offenses in Warren, against a cohort median of 85.8%. The remainder is burglary (5) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 523.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 519.8 in 2024 (-0.7%). The highest observed value was 523.4 in 2020 and the lowest 305.7 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Warren'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.
