Montgomery County Crime Rates & Safety

Official, public crime data for Montgomery County, reported by local police departments to the FBI. We show it as a rate per 100,000 residents so towns of different sizes are comparable, with the years available and how much of the county was reporting. County- and municipality-level only, never a rating of an individual home, street, or person.

Data year

Reported violent offenses per 100k were lower in 2024 than in 2023, and property offenses were lower. Years with sparse reporting are omitted. Pennsylvania switched crime-reporting systems in 2021 (SRS to NIBRS), so comparisons across that line are imperfect.

By municipality in Montgomery County

Each figure comes from one police department's FBI reporting, for the latest year that department filed all 12 months. "Violent" is the FBI's count of murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; simple assault is not included, which is why a small township can record a real zero. A zero here means the department reported all year and logged none of those offenses. A municipality can be missing for ordinary reasons: its department files partial or no monthly reports to the FBI, it shares a regional department, or it is covered by the State Police. Missing does not mean crime-free, small counts swing year to year, and departments classify assaults differently, so read these as context, not a verdict.

Rates are per 100,000 residents of each department’s jurisdiction and are shown only where at least 10 offenses were reported; below that, the cell states the count itself (“0 reported”, “Fewer than 10 reported”) so a small town’s handful of offenses never reads as a rate.

These figures describe counties and municipalities, not individual homes or people. They are official public data and may be self-reported, lag by a year or more, or be underreported. They are context, not a safety rating. Crime counts reflect what police agencies reported and vary with reporting practices.
