What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Clackamas County, OR
Position in the state cohort
Clackamas County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Oregon counties
At 127.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Clackamas County ranks 4 of 28 — above 24 of the 27 other Oregon counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +74.8% against the cohort median of 72.8. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Share of the state cohort
Clackamas County carries a large share of the reporting cohort’s total offenses
The 4,663 Part I offenses reported here are 24.6% of the 18,931 reported across all 28 comparable Oregon 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 421,401 rather than as a uniform shift.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 105.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 127.2 in 2024 (+21.0%). The highest observed value was 130.3 in 2022 and the lowest 105.1 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 77.4% of reported property offenses in Clackamas County, against a cohort median of 66.7%. The remainder is burglary (478) and motor vehicle theft (454). 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 11.5% of the 4,663 Part I offenses reported in Clackamas County for 2024, against a median of 15.4% across comparable Oregon counties — a gap of 3.9 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 very 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.
