Crime in Flint Township, Michigan

Updated ·Vorp Labs

The model puts major crime in Flint Township at 2.7 times the U.S. rate per resident: 2.2 times for persons crimes and 2.8 times for property crimes. Expected major crimes are down 3.6% from a year earlier.

Where these numbers come from

The estimates start from what police agencies report to the FBI, modeled across Flint Township's 29 census block groups for 30,821 residents. How Michigan residents' crime totals reach the FBI: detailed incident reports for 97.5%, summary counts only for 0.6% and estimates from past reports or similar agencies for 1.9% (shares of 2020 residents). Sources · Method

Why other sites show different numbers for Flint Township:
  • Year: many show an agency's last full FBI year (often two years back). These figures are the model's estimate for the current year, release 2026-11-10.
  • Crimes counted: some add simple assault, vandalism or drug offenses to "violent" or "property" crime; here major crime is persons plus property crime, and social disorder is separate.
  • Area: an agency's totals cover its jurisdiction, which can differ from the city's limits; these are summed over the block groups inside Flint Township.
  • Scale: a grade or a 1-to-100 score ranks places against each other; a rate per 1,000 residents and an index against the U.S. rate don't.

How we calculated this

Each police agency's crimes, as reported to the FBI or estimated where it didn't report, are spread across the census block groups it serves using population, jobs, points of interest and, where available, local incident records. Flint Township's figures add up its 29 block groups. The index compares crimes per resident with the U.S. rate.

  • Flint Township has no published incident records in our data, so its estimate relies on agency totals and neighborhood characteristics.
  • Rates are per resident, so places where many people work or visit but few live, such as downtowns, airports and stadiums, can read high.
  • Disorderly conduct and trespassing are modeled, because the FBI records them only through arrests.
  • Residents: 30,821. Model updated Nov 10, 2026. Release 2026-11-10
