Property-offense composition

Larceny-theft is 76.0% of reported property offenses in Douglas County, against a cohort median of 67.8%. The remainder is burglary (127) and motor vehicle theft (98). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.
