Position in the state cohort
Cherokee County sits mid-pack among comparable Oklahoma counties
At 121.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Cherokee County ranks 20 of 73 — above 53 of the 72 other Oklahoma counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +44.5% against the cohort median of 83.8. 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 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 163.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 121.1 in 2024 (-26.0%). The highest observed value was 163.6 in 2020 and the lowest 97.7 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only.
