The verdict
Weatherly earns an F safety grade: violent crime runs 89% above the U.S. average, placing it among the highest-crime cities in the country.
Based on 17 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,553. 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.
Small-count caution
Weatherly reported 17 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,553. 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 665.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Weatherly ranks 24 of 838 — above 814 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +919.5% 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Weatherly's 665.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Renovo (670.5), Duquesne (677.8), Sharon (653.1), Middleburg (683.9). 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 693.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 665.9 in 2024 (-4.0%). The highest observed value was 820.0 in 2023 and the lowest 0.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Weatherly'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.
