Small-count caution
Wyoming Area Regional reported 23 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 18,059. 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Wyoming Area Regional's 127.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Midland (127.3), Jenkintown (127.8), Southern Clarion County Regional (128.2), Bushkill Township (126.4). 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 127.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Wyoming Area Regional ranks 256 of 838 — above 582 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +95.0% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 19.7% of the 117 Part I offenses reported in Wyoming Area Regional for 2024, against a median of 10.0% across comparable Pennsylvania cities — a gap of 9.7 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 Wyoming Area Regional'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 23 reported violent incidents in a population of 18,059. 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.
