Position in the state cohort
Callaway County sits mid-pack among comparable Missouri counties
At 112.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Callaway County ranks 44 of 77 — above 33 of the 76 other Missouri counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 106.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 112.9 in 2024 (+6.4%). The highest observed value was 158.1 in 2021 and the lowest 106.1 in 2020. 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.
