What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Boone County, MO
Position in the state cohort
Boone County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Missouri counties
At 44.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Boone County ranks 66 of 77 — above 11 of the 76 other Missouri counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -65.3% against the cohort median of 128.8. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 16.8% of the 487 Part I offenses reported in Boone County for 2024, against a median of 26.5% across comparable Missouri counties — a gap of 9.7 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 58.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 44.7 in 2024 (-23.4%). The highest observed value was 65.4 in 2022 and the lowest 44.7 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
