Position in the state cohort
Franklin County sits mid-pack among comparable Alabama counties
At 109.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Franklin County ranks 16 of 56 — above 40 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

2022–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 127.7 per 100,000 in 2022 to 109.0 in 2024 (-14.6%). The highest observed value was 174.4 in 2023 and the lowest 109.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
