What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Anoka County, MN
Position in the state cohort
Anoka County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Minnesota counties
At 15.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Anoka County ranks 70 of 80 — above 10 of the 79 other Minnesota counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -66.5% against the cohort median of 47.5. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 11.2% of the 520 Part I offenses reported in Anoka County for 2024, against a median of 19.8% across comparable Minnesota counties — a gap of 8.6 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 86.4% of reported property offenses in Anoka County, against a cohort median of 70.4%. The remainder is burglary (45) and motor vehicle theft (18). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 19.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 15.9 in 2024 (-18.3%). The highest observed value was 19.5 in 2020 and the lowest 12.4 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
On a very large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.

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.
County Table 10 totals are voluntary agency filings: incomplete coverage is not a county crime measure, and a countywide figure is not a neighbourhood verdict.
