According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Clatsop County, OR agencies reported 36 violent and 166 property offenses.

2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 107.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 87.7 in 2024 (-18.2%). The highest observed value was 107.1 in 2020 and the lowest 51.1 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 87.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Clatsop County ranks 11 of 28 — above 17 of the 27 other Oregon counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +20.5% 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.
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.
