What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Benewah County, ID
Position in the state cohort
Benewah County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Idaho counties
At 356.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Benewah County ranks 2 of 33 — above 31 of the 32 other Idaho counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +370.4% against the cohort median of 75.8. 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 36.2% of the 94 Part I offenses reported in Benewah County for 2024, against a median of 28.1% across comparable Idaho counties — a gap of 8.1 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 314.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 356.8 in 2024 (+13.3%). The highest observed value was 356.8 in 2024 and the lowest 251.8 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
