Position in the state cohort
Concordia County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Louisiana counties
At 326.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Concordia County ranks 10 of 52 — above 42 of the 51 other Louisiana counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +38.1% against the cohort median of 236.4. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 524.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 326.4 in 2024 (-37.8%). The highest observed value was 524.4 in 2020 and the lowest 219.4 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 32.1% of the 190 Part I offenses reported in Concordia County for 2024, against a median of 22.4% across comparable Louisiana counties — a gap of 9.7 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.
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.

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. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
County Table 10 totals are voluntary agency filings: incomplete coverage is not a county crime measure, and a countywide figure is not a neighbourhood verdict.
