What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Hillsborough County, FL

Position in the state cohort

Hillsborough County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Florida counties

At 107.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hillsborough County ranks 29 of 37 — above 8 of the 36 other Florida counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -31.5% against the cohort median of 156.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

2024 reported record

Larceny-theft is the most reported offence in Hillsborough County

Of the 7,595 Part I offences Hillsborough County reported for 2024, 20.7% were violent. Aggravated assault leads the violent categories at 1,165, and larceny-theft leads the property categories at 4,999, against a population of 1,459,762. Florida has too few counties with a comparable 2024 submission to place this record against an in-state cohort, so it is reported on its own terms.

On a very large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.
