What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Marianna, FL
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 1647.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 208.6 in 2024 (-87.3%). The highest observed value was 1647.8 in 2020 and the lowest 208.6 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Marianna reported 16 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 7,670. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Comparable rate records
Marianna's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Florida cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Marianna's 208.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Plantation (210.0), Winter Park (204.3), Crestview (214.0), Auburndale (216.8). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 62.2% of reported property offenses in Marianna, against a cohort median of 81.8%. The remainder is burglary (28) and motor vehicle theft (0). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 17.8% of the 90 Part I offenses reported in Marianna for 2024, against a median of 13.3% across comparable Florida cities — a gap of 4.5 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Position in the state cohort
Marianna sits mid-pack among comparable Florida cities
At 208.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Marianna ranks 62 of 126 — above 64 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +8.3% against the cohort median of 192.7. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Marianna's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Based on 16 reported violent incidents in a population of 7,670. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
