Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Carroll County reported 9 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 10,810. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Position in the state cohort
Carroll County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Kentucky counties
At 83.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Carroll County ranks 4 of 113 — above 109 of the 112 other Kentucky counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +225.1% against the cohort median of 25.6. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 55.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 83.3 in 2024 (+50.0%). The highest observed value was 83.3 in 2024 and the lowest 37.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 20.0% of the 45 Part I offenses reported in Carroll County for 2024, against a median of 14.0% across comparable Kentucky counties — a gap of 6.0 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.
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.
