Position in the state cohort
Calvert County sits mid-pack among comparable Maryland counties
At 133.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Calvert County ranks 6 of 19 — above 13 of the 18 other Maryland counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +61.7% against the cohort median of 82.7. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 82.0% of reported property offenses in Calvert County, against a cohort median of 72.3%. The remainder is burglary (34) and motor vehicle theft (54). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 20.2% of the 613 Part I offenses reported in Calvert County for 2024, against a median of 16.3% across comparable Maryland counties — a gap of 4.0 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.
