Position in the state cohort
Gibson County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Indiana counties
At 96.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Gibson County ranks 10 of 42 — above 32 of the 41 other Indiana counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 22.1% of the 145 Part I offenses reported in Gibson County for 2024, against a median of 19.0% across comparable Indiana counties — a gap of 3.0 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.
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.
