Small-count caution
Hamilton County reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 5,107. 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 40.0% of reported property offenses in Hamilton County, against a cohort median of 81.9%. The remainder is burglary (1) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
At 19.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hamilton County ranks 28 of 39 — above 11 of the 38 other New York counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -26.4% against the cohort median of 26.6. 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 16.7% of the 6 Part I offenses reported in Hamilton County for 2024, against a median of 11.1% across comparable New York counties — a gap of 5.5 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-county UCR rows are especially sensitive to which agencies filed. Per-100,000 rates use a matched 2020 Census population when available; otherwise counts only. Do not treat the county total as a town-level crime level.
