FBI UCR Safety Grade Snapshot: Oregon

Oregon earned an overall safety grade of F (score: 0/100, High Risk) based on 2024 FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program data, with a statewide violent crime rate of 334.6 per 100,000 and property crime rate of 2409.8 per 100,000. PlainCrime graded 88 Oregon cities with reportable crime data against national benchmarks, producing an A+ through F score for each jurisdiction. Grades weigh violent and property crime rates: cities more than 50% below the national average typically earn A or A+, while cities significantly above average receive D or F ratings.

Across the 88 graded Oregon cities, 0 earned A+, 1 earned A, 1 received B, 3 landed at C, 8 received D, and 75 fell to F in the 2024 scoring. The highest-rated city is Columbia City with a A grade (score: 89/100, violent rate 0/100K). The lowest-rated city is Portland with a F grade (score: 0/100, violent rate 720.1/100K).

Roughly 1% of graded cities in Oregon achieved an A or A+ rating, while 94% received a D or F. Cities missing from this table either did not submit complete 2024 UCR data, fell below the minimum population threshold for reliable rate calculation, or report through consolidated agencies that aggregate into county or regional totals instead of individual city figures. Grade boundaries use the national violent and property crime rate averages for 2024 as the reference point, so grades are directly comparable between Oregon and other states on the site.
