What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Genesee County, NY

Position in the state cohort

Genesee County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable New York counties

At 49.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Genesee County ranks 4 of 39 — above 35 of the 38 other New York counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +98.6% against the cohort median of 25.0. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

Small-count caution

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

Genesee County reported 29 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 58,388. 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.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 44.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 49.7 in 2024 (+11.5%). The highest observed value was 68.5 in 2021 and the lowest 39.4 in 2022. 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 89.0% of reported property offenses in Genesee County, against a cohort median of 81.0%. The remainder is burglary (11) and motor vehicle theft (8). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Offense mix

Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 14.4% of the 202 Part I offenses reported in Genesee County for 2024, against a median of 11.1% across comparable New York counties — a gap of 3.2 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.
