Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 34.7% of reported property offenses in Glenn County, against a cohort median of 66.2%. The remainder is burglary (167) and motor vehicle theft (14). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 442.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 349.3 in 2024 (-21.1%). The highest observed value was 442.6 in 2020 and the lowest 335.4 in 2022. 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.
