Warrenville, IL carries a PlainCrime A+ safety grade with violent crime 93% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Warrenville, IL shows violent crime at 25.8 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 714.7 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 93% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A+ from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Warrenville reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 15,530. 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
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 91.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 25.8 in 2024 (-71.7%). The highest observed value was 91.1 in 2020 and the lowest 25.8 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Warrenville's 25.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Coal Valley (26.3), Deerfield (26.6), Riverwoods (26.9), Burr Ridge (27.3). 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 25.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Warrenville ranks 397 of 506 — above 109 of the 505 other Illinois cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -74.4% against the cohort median of 100.7. 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 3.5% of the 115 Part I offenses reported in Warrenville for 2024, against a median of 11.3% across comparable Illinois cities — a gap of 7.8 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 82.9% of reported property offenses in Warrenville, against a cohort median of 70.2%. The remainder is burglary (14) and motor vehicle theft (5). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Warrenville'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 4 reported violent incidents in a population of 15,530. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
