Position in the state cohort
Beltrami County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Minnesota counties
At 103.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Beltrami County ranks 14 of 80 — above 66 of the 79 other Minnesota counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +122.4% against the cohort median of 46.7. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 23.6% of the 203 Part I offenses reported in Beltrami County for 2024, against a median of 19.4% across comparable Minnesota counties — a gap of 4.2 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 80.0% of reported property offenses in Beltrami County, against a cohort median of 70.4%. The remainder is burglary (27) and motor vehicle theft (4). 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 112.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 103.8 in 2024 (-7.7%). The highest observed value was 142.8 in 2021 and the lowest 103.8 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.

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.
