What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Barry County, MO
Position in the state cohort
Barry County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Missouri counties
At 211.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Barry County ranks 15 of 77 — above 62 of the 76 other Missouri counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +71.5% against the cohort median of 123.3. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2021–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 185.3 per 100,000 in 2021 to 211.4 in 2024 (+14.1%). The highest observed value was 211.4 in 2024 and the lowest 84.0 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 22.8% of the 320 Part I offenses reported in Barry County for 2024, against a median of 26.5% across comparable Missouri counties — a gap of 3.7 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.
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.
