Greene County, NY reported 36 violent crimes per 100,000 in FBI UCR 2024
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Greene County, NY agencies reported 17 violent and 23 property offenses. That equals about 36 violent and 48 property crimes per 100,000 using a verified Census population join. Table 10 coverage is a voluntary subset of U.S. counties.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 42.5% of the 40 Part I offenses reported in Greene County for 2024, against a median of 11.1% across comparable New York counties — a gap of 31.4 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.
Small-count caution
Greene County reported 17 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 47,931. 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
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 22.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 35.5 in 2024 (+54.5%). The highest observed value was 35.5 in 2022 and the lowest 8.3 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 35.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Greene County ranks 11 of 39 — above 28 of the 38 other New York counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +41.8% 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 65.2% of reported property offenses in Greene County, against a cohort median of 81.9%. The remainder is burglary (6) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.
