What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Floyd County, IA

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 19.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 70.4 in 2024 (+266.7%). The highest observed value was 70.4 in 2024 and the lowest 6.4 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Floyd County reported 11 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 15,627. 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 make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 47.8% of the 23 Part I offenses reported in Floyd County for 2024, against a median of 24.0% across comparable Iowa counties — a gap of 23.8 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

Floyd County sits mid-pack among comparable Iowa counties

At 70.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Floyd County ranks 27 of 86 — above 59 of the 85 other Iowa counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +52.2% against the cohort median of 46.3. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

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.
