2020–2024 direction

Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 123.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 111.4 in 2024 (-9.9%). The highest observed value was 146.8 in 2023 and the lowest 111.4 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate White Plains'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.
