According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Allendale County, SC agencies reported 10 violent and 32 property offenses.

2020–2024 direction
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 62.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 124.4 in 2024 (+100.0%). The highest observed value was 136.8 in 2023 and the lowest 62.2 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Allendale County reported 10 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 8,039. 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
At 124.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Allendale County ranks 38 of 43 — above 5 of the 42 other South Carolina counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -54.0% against the cohort median of 270.4. 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
Larceny-theft is 50.0% of reported property offenses in Allendale County, against a cohort median of 66.4%. The remainder is burglary (8) and motor vehicle theft (8). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Small-county UCR rows are especially sensitive to which agencies filed. Per-100,000 rates use a matched 2020 Census population when available; otherwise counts only. Do not treat the county total as a town-level crime level.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
