A real, elevated violent-crime rate on one framing

Per one source's per-100,000 framing, Niagara Falls' violent crime rate (501.1 per 100,000) ran approximately 39.5% above the national rate and 31.81% above the NY statewide rate.

A real, disclosed cross-metric inconsistency

The same source's per-1,000-residents framing (8.43 per 1,000) ran BELOW its own cited national comparison (13.32 per 1,000) -- an inconsistency this record discloses rather than silently resolves.
