What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Carson City County, NV

Position in the state cohort

Carson City County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Nevada counties

At 317.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Carson City County ranks 3 of 12 — above 9 of the 11 other Nevada counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +106.4% against the cohort median of 153.7. 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 72.8% of reported property offenses in Carson City County, against a cohort median of 51.7%. The remainder is burglary (78) and motor vehicle theft (51). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Share of the state cohort

Carson City County carries a large share of the reporting cohort’s total offenses

The 660 Part I offenses reported here are 16.1% of the 4,097 reported across all 12 comparable Nevada counties in 2024. A county this large moves the statewide total on its own, so state-level changes should be read against its population of 58,639 rather than as a uniform shift.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 368.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 317.2 in 2024 (-13.9%). The highest observed value was 368.4 in 2020 and the lowest 269.4 in 2023. 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.
