What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for East Baton Rouge County, LA
Position in the state cohort
East Baton Rouge County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Louisiana counties
At 94.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, East Baton Rouge County ranks 44 of 52 — above 8 of the 51 other Louisiana counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -61.6% against the cohort median of 246.6. 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 7.9% of the 5,496 Part I offenses reported in East Baton Rouge County for 2024, against a median of 22.9% across comparable Louisiana counties — a gap of 15.0 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.
2021–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 142.7 per 100,000 in 2021 to 94.8 in 2024 (-33.6%). The highest observed value was 143.8 in 2022 and the lowest 94.8 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 75.4% of reported property offenses in East Baton Rouge County, against a cohort median of 66.7%. The remainder is burglary (706) and motor vehicle theft (540). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.

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.
County Table 10 totals are voluntary agency filings: incomplete coverage is not a county crime measure, and a countywide figure is not a neighbourhood verdict.
