What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Converse County, WY

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Converse County reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 13,751. 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.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 65.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 29.1 in 2024 (-55.6%). The highest observed value was 65.4 in 2020 and the lowest 21.8 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

Converse County sits mid-pack among comparable Wyoming counties

At 29.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Converse County ranks 12 of 19 — above 7 of the 18 other Wyoming counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -14.6% against the cohort median of 34.0. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

Offense mix

The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort

Violent offenses are 12.1% of the 33 Part I offenses reported in Converse County for 2024, against a median of 15.9% across comparable Wyoming counties — a gap of 3.8 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.
