Position in the state cohort
Dallas County reported the highest violent-crime rate among comparable Alabama counties
At 241.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Dallas County ranks 1 of 56 — above 55 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +222.3% 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.
2021–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 210.6 per 100,000 in 2021 to 241.8 in 2024 (+14.8%). The highest observed value was 244.4 in 2023 and the lowest 158.6 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.

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.
