What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Clarke County, AL
Position in the state cohort
Clarke County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Alabama counties
At 155.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Clarke County ranks 6 of 56 — above 50 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +107.9% against the cohort median of 75.0. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 33.0% of the 109 Part I offenses reported in Clarke County for 2024, against a median of 21.3% across comparable Alabama counties — a gap of 11.7 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 lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 181.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 155.9 in 2024 (-14.3%). The highest observed value was 272.9 in 2021 and the lowest 151.6 in 2022. 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.
