What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for West Bloomfield Township, MI
Comparable rate records
West Bloomfield Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Michigan cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to West Bloomfield Township's 81.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Oxford Township (83.5), Forsyth Township (79.5), Holly (84.4), Harbor Springs (78.8). 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 60.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 81.7 in 2024 (+34.2%). The highest observed value was 111.1 in 2021 and the lowest 60.9 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
West Bloomfield Township sits mid-pack among comparable Michigan cities
At 81.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, West Bloomfield Township ranks 268 of 366 — above 98 of the 365 other Michigan cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -56.6% against the cohort median of 188.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 13.5% of the 394 Part I offenses reported in West Bloomfield Township for 2024, against a median of 16.8% across comparable Michigan cities — a gap of 3.3 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.
Property counts dominate West Bloomfield 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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
