Based on 6 reported violent incidents in a population of 26,355. 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.
FBI UCR Data Snapshot: Warrington Township, PA
Warrington Township, PA, reporting population 26,355 in 2024, recorded 6 violent crimes and 196 property crimes in the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program's Table 8 city-level submissions. The city's violent crime rate works out to 22.8 per 100,000 residents, while the property crime rate reaches 743.7 per 100,000. Combining those two rates against national benchmarks yields a composite safety grade of A+ (Very Safe), scoring 91 out of 100.
Within the violent crime count, aggravated assault accounted for 2 incidents, robbery 3, murder 0, and rape 1 in 2024. Property crime splits into larceny-theft (181), burglary (6), and motor vehicle theft (9); the FBI UCR Program tracks arson (0) as a separate offense category, so it is not included in the property crime total above. Larceny-theft and other property offenses typically dominate city crime counts, and larceny-theft leads Warrington Township's mix at 89.6% of all Part I offenses.
Against the national violent crime average, Warrington Township runs 94% below the US benchmark, and 91% below the Pennsylvania statewide rate. Year-over-year, the violent crime rate fell 15.2% from 2023 to 2024, while property crime declined 11.6%. By violent crime rate, Warrington Township ranks #26 of 231 Pennsylvania cities with at least 10,000 residents. UCR figures reflect offenses reported to and submitted by local law enforcement and may undercount unreported crime.
How to read these numbers
These figures come from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, which compiles offenses voluntarily submitted by local law enforcement agencies. Rates are expressed per 100,000 residents so a small town and a large city sit on the same scale, 50 burglaries mean something very different in a town of 2,000 than in a city of 500,000. Two caveats matter when reading any city's numbers. First, a year with missing or partial agency reporting can understate true crime, so a sudden drop sometimes reflects a reporting gap rather than a real safety gain. Second, UCR counts reported offenses, not convictions, and many crimes are never reported at all. Treat a grade as one input among several, not a final verdict on a place.
