Position in the state cohort
Christian County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Missouri counties
At 50.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Christian County ranks 65 of 77 — above 12 of the 76 other Missouri counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -60.7% against the cohort median of 128.8. 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 75.5% of reported property offenses in Christian County, against a cohort median of 61.7%. The remainder is burglary (19) and motor vehicle theft (18). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 23.0% of the 196 Part I offenses reported in Christian County for 2024, against a median of 26.5% across comparable Missouri counties — a gap of 3.6 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 49.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 50.7 in 2024 (+2.3%). The highest observed value was 50.7 in 2024 and the lowest 42.8 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.
