Small-count caution
Warrington Township reported 6 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 26,355. 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 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 60.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 22.8 in 2024 (-62.5%). The highest observed value was 60.8 in 2020 and the lowest 15.4 in 2022. 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 Warrington Township's 22.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are South Londonderry Township (22.7), O'Hara Township (22.5), Hampden Township (22.5), Economy (22.4). 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 22.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Warrington Township ranks 590 of 838 — above 248 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -65.6% against the cohort median of 66.1. 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 3.0% of the 202 Part I offenses reported in Warrington Township for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 7.0 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 counts dominate Warrington Township'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 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
Warrington Township's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (90% of 202 offenses; mix index 8,061).
