According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Coffey County, KS agencies reported 15 violent and 28 property offenses. That equals about 179 violent and 335 property crimes per 100,000 using a verified Census population join. Table 10 coverage is a voluntary subset of U.S. counties.
Small-count caution
Coffey County reported 15 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 8,360. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Position in the state cohort
At 179.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Coffey County ranks 11 of 70 — above 59 of the 69 other Kansas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +143.7% against the cohort median of 73.6. 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 are 34.9% of the 43 Part I offenses reported in Coffey County for 2024, against a median of 25.0% across comparable Kansas counties — a gap of 9.9 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.
Small-county UCR rows are especially sensitive to which agencies filed. Per-100,000 rates use a matched 2020 Census population when available; otherwise counts only. Do not treat the county total as a town-level crime level.

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.
