Incomplete FBI reporting for this county
Law-enforcement agencies serving Essex County reported 0 violent and 2 property offences to the FBI for 2024 against a population of 37,381. Reporting to the UCR Program is voluntary, and figures this low for a population this size mean agencies did not submit complete data, not that little crime occurred. The numbers below are what was reported; they are not a measure of this county's crime level, and no safety grade is assigned from them.
Reporting completeness
FBI UCR participation is voluntary, and the 2024 submission covering Essex County does not pass the completeness test this site applies for a population of 37,381. The counts below are shown because they are what agencies reported, but they are not treated here as the county’s crime level, and Essex County is excluded from rankings and comparisons on this site for 2024.
Small-count caution
Essex County reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 37,381. 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.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.

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.
