What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Charlotte County, FL
Position in the state cohort
Charlotte County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Florida counties
At 110.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Charlotte County ranks 28 of 37 — above 9 of the 36 other Florida counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -29.4% against the cohort median of 156.9. 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 lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 148.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 110.8 in 2024 (-25.5%). The highest observed value was 148.8 in 2020 and the lowest 81.3 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 12.9% of the 1,599 Part I offenses reported in Charlotte County for 2024, against a median of 20.8% across comparable Florida counties — a gap of 7.9 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.
