What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Duval County, FL

Position in the state cohort

Duval County reported the highest violent-crime rate among comparable Florida counties

At 573.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Duval County ranks 1 of 37 — above 36 of the 36 other Florida counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +272.5% against the cohort median of 153.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

Share of the state cohort

Duval County carries a large share of the reporting cohort’s total offenses

The 32,309 Part I offenses reported here are 26.0% of the 124,465 reported across all 37 comparable Florida counties in 2024. A county this large moves the statewide total on its own, so state-level changes should be read against its population of 995,567 rather than as a uniform shift.

Offense mix

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

Violent offenses are 17.7% of the 32,309 Part I offenses reported in Duval County for 2024, against a median of 20.8% across comparable Florida counties — a gap of 3.2 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.

On a very large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. 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.
