What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Elmore County, AL

2022–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 35.2 per 100,000 in 2022 to 46.6 in 2024 (+32.3%). The highest observed value was 46.6 in 2024 and the lowest 35.2 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Position in the state cohort

Elmore County sits mid-pack among comparable Alabama counties

At 46.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Elmore County ranks 40 of 56 — above 16 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -42.4% against the cohort median of 80.9. 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 11.5% of the 355 Part I offenses reported in Elmore County for 2024, against a median of 21.6% across comparable Alabama counties — a gap of 10.0 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.

On a 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.
