Grand County, CO reported 185 violent crimes per 100,000 in FBI UCR 2024
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Grand County, CO agencies reported 29 violent and 50 property offenses. That equals about 185 violent and 318 property crimes per 100,000 using a verified Census population join. Table 10 coverage is a voluntary subset of U.S. counties.
Small-count caution
Grand County reported 29 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 15,717. 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 184.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Grand County ranks 6 of 45 — above 39 of the 44 other Colorado counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +143.2% against the cohort median of 75.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 36.7% of the 79 Part I offenses reported in Grand County for 2024, against a median of 17.5% across comparable Colorado counties — a gap of 19.2 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.
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.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
