What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Albany County, WY
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Albany County reported 6 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 37,066. 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.
Position in the state cohort
Albany County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Wyoming counties
At 16.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Albany County ranks 17 of 19 — above 2 of the 18 other Wyoming counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -52.5% against the cohort median of 34.0. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 46.2% of reported property offenses in Albany County, against a cohort median of 73.8%. The remainder is burglary (11) and motor vehicle theft (10). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2021–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 21.6 per 100,000 in 2021 to 16.2 in 2024 (-25.0%). The highest observed value was 27.0 in 2022 and the lowest 16.2 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.
