What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Apache County, AZ

Offense mix

Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 37.3% of the 126 Part I offenses reported in Apache County for 2024, against a median of 23.1% across comparable Arizona counties — a gap of 14.2 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.

2022–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower

Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 92.4 per 100,000 in 2022 to 71.2 in 2024 (-23.0%). The highest observed value was 92.4 in 2022 and the lowest 71.2 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Property-offense composition

Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort

Larceny-theft is 45.6% of reported property offenses in Apache County, against a cohort median of 63.3%. The remainder is burglary (35) and motor vehicle theft (8). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Position in the state cohort

Apache County sits mid-pack among comparable Arizona counties

At 71.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Apache County ranks 5 of 9 — above 4 of the 8 other Arizona counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +2.5% against the cohort median of 69.5. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

On a 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.
