At 59.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Boone County ranks 18 of 77 — above 59 of the 76 other Illinois counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 23.2% of the 138 Part I offenses reported in Boone County for 2024, against a median of 20.1% across comparable Illinois counties — a gap of 3.1 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.
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.
