According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Dunn County, ND agencies reported 1 violent and 16 property offenses.

Small-count caution
Dunn County reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,095. 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 5.9% of the 17 Part I offenses reported in Dunn County for 2024, against a median of 11.8% across comparable North Dakota counties — a gap of 5.9 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 24.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Dunn County ranks 17 of 30 — above 13 of the 29 other North Dakota counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -30.4% against the cohort median of 35.1. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
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. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
