Incomplete FBI reporting for this county

Law-enforcement agencies serving Cass County reported 12 violent and 153 property offences to the FBI for 2024 against a population of 184,525. Reporting to the UCR Program is voluntary, and figures this low for a population this size mean agencies did not submit complete data, not that little crime occurred. The numbers below are what was reported; they are not a measure of this county's crime level, and no safety grade is assigned from them.

What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Cass County, ND

Reporting completeness

The reported totals here are too incomplete to describe this county’s crime level

FBI UCR participation is voluntary, and the 2024 submission covering Cass County does not pass the completeness test this site applies for a population of 184,525. The counts below are shown because they are what agencies reported, but they are not treated here as the county’s crime level, and Cass County is excluded from rankings and comparisons on this site for 2024.

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Cass County reported 12 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 184,525. 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.

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.
