Below the Pennsylvania rate, campus and all
A college campus draws people from elsewhere. Their incidents count against Manheim’s 44,600 residents, which usually pushes a town’s rate up. Even so, Manheim reported 11.4 crimes per 1,000 in 2025, against 15.9 across Pennsylvania. How to read it ↓

What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many thefts and some assaults are never reported.
- One number for a whole city. A rate for all of Manheim doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. A college campus draws people from elsewhere. Their incidents are counted against Manheim’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
